The Boston Cyclists Union has historically provided discounted Bluebikes passes to people with limited incomes throughout Greater Boston. This was a limited income pass, hugely discounted to $5 annually.
The success of the program has led the city to adopt into their Boston Bike Pass program!
Note: To qualify, applicants must either receive one of the listed forms of public assistance (see application) and/or have an income below 4X the Federal Poverty level (check full poverty level guidelines here.)
