Bennett. \u201cI was particularly encouraged to hear that users are driving less and moving more \u2013 and that thus far, over 480,000 calories have been burned as a result!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are excited to see so many people using CDPHP Cycle! in the Capital Region,\u201d said CDTA CEO Carm Basile. \u201cBringing a deep and wide menu of mobility options to the region, all under one umbrella, is what our vision has been from the beginning. When we set out to make this project a reality, there was certainly excitement surrounding it, but we are encouraged by the number of members, and rides taken so far, and only expect those numbers to increase as we finish out the riding season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Riders may purchase a membership or load a pay-as-you-go account by registering online or downloading the CDPHP Cycle! mobile app. People pay for what they cycle, which caomes out to just 8 cents per minute with an hourly pass, according to CDTA. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For more information, including additional rental fees, rack locations, and more, visit www.cdphpcycle.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The CDPHP Cycle! season is expected to end on Nov. 30 and resume on April 1, 2018, with 160 more bikes in circulation and additional bike stations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">CDTA was created in 1970 by the State Legislature as a public benefit corporation to provide regional transportation services by rail, bus, water and air.
