On Wednesday at Dr. Franjo Tudjman Square in Split, preparation works began for setting up a terminal, i.e., the new public bicycle station, and by the end of April, the same terminals will be set up in seven other city locations, reports Dalmatinski Portal on March 27, 2019. 

The result is the partnership of the City of Split with the EU project ‘REMEDIO’ (REgenerating mixed-use MED urban communities with congested traffic through Innovative low carbon mobility sOlutions) aimed at encouraging the use of low carbon transport systems through testing the operating methods of managing congested traffic and traffic overloaded urban areas.

As part of the project pilot project, in eight locations, Split will receive a with a mixed contingent of 20 electric and 30 classic bicycles, while the partner in the implementation is Split parking d.o.o. The bikes will be available on the Riva in front of Sv. Frane (2 bicycle stands), the parking lot in Split 3, the parking lot in Žnjan, the parking near Joker, the bus station at Sukoišanska, the parking at Stari Plac, the Spinut Student House and the Campus.

“The City of Split, within the project, has available grants for the procurement of public bicycle systems and the implementation of specific project activities amounting to a total of EUR 267,500.00 with a co-financing rate of 85%. The project is funded by the ERDF through the Interreg MED program. Through the recently agreed EU project ‘SUTRA’, which includes similar activities, it is envisaged to upgrade the system as well as to extend the existing contingent of ordinary and electric bicycles,” said theCity of Split.
