The project will also launch the Community E-bike Program Pilot in 2026. Together, these efforts improved first- and last-mile connections to transit, reduced cost barriers to e-bike ownership, and supported the unique transportation needs of a diverse population in Westchester County’s Rivertowns. In doing so, Project MOVER’s 2025 operations demonstrated that e-bikes can serve as practical transportation for everyday trips. The E-bike Incentive Program distributed 123 vouchers this year, including 25 during the Ossining pilot and 98 during full program rollout. Eligibility was expanded to include both residents and workers in participating communities. Participants had a median income of $50,000 and paid a median of $611.57 out of pocket for an e-bike and safety equipment. In total, participants saved $137,749.99, underscoring how effective the program has been at making e-bike ownership attainable. Retail participation also grew during the year, though the experience highlighted how retailer location and stocking practices can affect participant preferences. Bikeshare operations grew substantially in 2025, with 45 hubs active across the six municipalities and 9,419 trips recorded during the season, bringing the system’s all-time total to 10,878 trips. Riders logged 14,540 miles, averaging 1.54 miles and 15.6 minutes per trip. The system served 2,394 unique riders in 2025. While most riders used pay-as-you-go trips, members accounted for 27% of all trips, despite accounting for 5% of all riders, indicating that frequent riders are increasingly relying on the system for routine travel. Growth in both monthly and income-qualified memberships over the course of the season reflects growing familiarity and comfort with the system. In December, the team launched a Winter Operations Pilot in Sleepy Hollow to better understand how the system performs in colder conditions. Early results show continued use even during limited winter service, and findings will inform future seasonal launch timing. The project also received approval to launch the Community E-bike Program Pilot with Hudson Link in Ossining. This initiative will deploy e-cargo bikes within the bikeshare network to support individuals reentering the community who face significant transportation challenges. The pilot will test a scalable model for pairing bikeshare operations with targeted community mobility needs. Overall, 2025 showed that Project MOVER is not only expanding access to e-bikes and bikeshare, but establishing them as practical, reliable transportation options across Westchester County, with clear opportunities for continued growth in 2026. E-Bike Incentive Program Distribution Overview The project team distributed 123 vouchers in 2025, including 25 during the pilot program in the Village of Ossining. The launch of the full program included expanding eligibility to EMI community residents, as well as people who work within them. The Median income of program participants is $50,000 with a median household size of 2 people. The figure below outlines the total and median out-of-pocket costs for program participants, The median participant paid $611.57 to receive a bike and safety equipment. The minimum out of pocket expense paid through the program was $99.26 including sales tax. In total, program participants save a collective $137,749.99 through purchasing quality e-bikes and safety equipment. The figure below shows the median and total out-of-pocket expenditures by program participants. Voucher Redemption Overview Vouchers Redeemed Bikes Total Bikes Out-of-Pocket Expenses (minus sales tax) $55,849.92 Median Bike Out-of-Pocket Expenses (minus sales tax) $454.06 Total Saved on Bike Costs $123,000 Safety Gear Total Safety Equipment Out-of-Pocket Expense (minus sales tax) $2,876.42 Median Safety Equipment Out-of-Pocket Expense (minus sales tax) $23.39 Total Saved on Safety Gear Costs $14,749.99 Total Total Out-of-Pocket Expense (bike, safety gear and tax) $75,223.51 Median Out-of-Pocket Expense (bike, safety gear and tax) $611.57 Total Saved on Purchase of Bike and Safety Gear $137,749.99 Expansion into the full program included expanding the eligibility requirements to include people who work within the project municipalities. While most vouchers were distributed to residents of the participating municipalities, there was a small contingency of workers that received e-bikes through the program. The chart below shows the distribution of vouchers between workers and residents, and the table below segments this split by municipality. Voucher Distribution by Participant Type Municipality Number of Vouchers Residents Workers Village of Ossining 60 (48.8%) 57 (95.2%) 3 (4.8%) Town of Ossining 26 (21.1%) 21 (80.8%) 5 (19.2%) 19 (15.4%) 18 (94.7%) 1 (5.3%) Village of Tarrytown 9 (7.3%) 7 (77.8%) 2 (22.2%) Village of Sleepy Hollow 8 (6.5%) 8 (100%) 0 (0%) Village of Dobbs Ferry 1 (0.8%) 1 (100%) 0 (0%) Participating Retailers The chart above represents the proportion of bikes sold by retailer. By and large, the bikes were purchased at Croton E-bikes in Croton-on-Hudson. In June, Danny’s Cycles locations became a qualified retailer, and in September Sleepy Hollow Bikes also became a qualified retailer. This is reflective of the current state of e-bike retail, which is in flux due to evolving international trade dynamics. Croton E-bikes, which is an e-bike specific retailer, operates on a unique business model which is advantageous for this program, including offering a wide range of affordable products, and holding a large stock at the store for people to try before purchase. While Danny’s Cycles also offers e-bikes in-store starting at $1,300 dollars, their locations are not conveniently located or easily accessible by public transportation, which could serve as a barrier. Conversely, while Sleepy Hollow Bikes is located in a more convenient location for Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, and Dobbs Ferry, they do not carry a stock of e-bikes in-store and instead order e-bikes by request of customers. This approach is generally used by small retailers, including Endless Trail Bikeworx in Dobbs Ferry, which declined joining the program for this reason. Engagement for 2026 The project team will continue social media campaigns in 2026, with concerted pushes scheduled for early spring and summer. The static social media ads have English and Spanish versions, and are distributed by language based on the social media user’s primary language on the social media platform. To the right is an example of a spanish ad published to promote the program. While word-of-mouth remains the primary means people report hearing about the program from, common advertising practices recommend reaching people on multiple mediums to encourage adoption. In fall, the project team filmed an informational video in the Village of Ossining, interviewing program participants about the impacts of the program on their lives. The full video is published on youtube, and specific social media edits will be utilized for the social media campaigns in 2026. This will further reinforce the validity of the program, and present a more engaging means of reaching target audiences. Additionally, the team will send bilingual mailers to targeted audiences in the communities to further reinforce familiarity with the program for people who would benefit from access to a personal e-bike. Bikeshare Usage The bikeshare launched 34 hubs in 2025, operating a total of 45 hubs across 6 municipalities. There were 9,419 trips in 2025, bringing the all-time total to 10,878 trips. Riders pedaled 14,540 miles in 2025, averaging 1.54 miles and 15.6 minutes per trip, burning a collective 1.2 million calories. The chart below shows the usage of the bikeshare by week, compared to inches of precipitation recorded. The bikeshare peaked in ridership with 516 trips on the week of July 14, corresponding with the launches of Croton-on-Hudson and Dobbs Ferry. Ridership remained stable through the week of September 15, before steadily decreasing by month until the winter shutdown the week of December 15.

This includes key expansions in Tarrytown to incorporate territory including and south of the Mario Cuomo Bridge, and in Dobbs Ferry to incorporate Mercy University, as well as residential zones. The team will continue to evaluate expansion opportunities across the system to spur increased ridership. Municipalities that want expansions within their community should coordinate with Alex Maccallini from Shared Mobility Inc to evaluate options. Winter Operations Pilot The team is piloting winter operations in the Village of Sleepy Hollow to determine how the system operates in Westchester County during the winter. The pilot is utilizing all hubs within the Village of Sleepy Hollow. In the 12 days of operation in December, 25 trips were recorded. The team will continue to evaluate the performance of the pilot, both for the ridership as well as the operations and will report on the findings at the end of the pilot. Part of this evaluation will seek to determine an optimal start date for full operations in future years. Currently, the full 2026 season is scheduled to launch in the first week of April.

The Village saw consistent afternoon usage and clear morning peaks at 7:00 AM, indicating a mix of commuting and recreational ridership. This is supported by the top trip combinations, which saw prevalence of inbound trips to the Metro North Station, as well as round trips from hubs near dense population centers in the Village. The Village saw the most member trips of any municipality in 2025, totaling 648 trips, 29.4% of all trips in the village. A majority of member trips were monthly members, though there were 86 income qualified member trips, most of which occurring between June and September. Member trips trended higher month-over-month compared to PAUG trips, indicating that as people in Croton became more accustomed to the bikeshare, more people adopted memberships. A full distribution of trips by month and member type can be found in the “Membership Usage” tab of the 2025 MOVER Bikeshare Overview Data spreadsheet. The Village of Croton-on-Hudson’s first year of bikeshare demonstrated a clear connection between its Metro North/Amtrak station and the village center. 1,281 trips were recorded within the Village, and 85 trips were taken between the villages of Croton-on-Hudson and Ossining.

A full distribution of trips by month and member type can be found in the “Membership Usage” tab of the 2025 MOVER Bikeshare Overview Data spreadsheet. Village of Dobbs Ferry The Village of Dobbs Ferry recorded 788 trips in 2025, most of which were within the village. Village stakeholders have identified relative isolation from other municipalities as a challenge of the current construct of the bikeshare. The addition of Irvington to the bikeshare was identified as a priority to improve connections between Dobbs Ferry and the rest of the system. The project team has engaged the Village of Irvington in 2025 and is examining options for the village to join the program, either during or after grant funding. Trips involving Dobbs Ferry Pair Trip Count Within Dobbs Ferry Dobbs Ferry and Tarrytown Dobbs Ferry and Sleepy Hollow Dobbs Ferry and V. Ossining Total The following two tables outline the hub utilization and top trip combinations for Dobbs Ferry. The village demonstrated clear commuting adoption for the bikeshare in 2025, with Waterfront Park, Gould Park, and Memorial Park serving as key hubs in the system. Memorial park demonstrated a preference as a starting point for people to access the central village and residential areas (Gould Park) via the MTA station, whereas Waterfront Park presented a slight preference as an end point for trips to the MTA station from the village.

Dobbs Ferry’s membership usage peaked during August, when 36.8% of all trips were member trips. In total, the proportion of member trips vs. pay-as-you-go trips is comparable to the whole system. Moving into 2026, the project team is coordinating with Village groups to increase adoption of the system for means of commuting. A challenge observed by the village’s Transportation Advisory Committee was the lack of hubs near residential centers off of major thoroughfares in the village. The team is coordinating to identify agreeable locations to expand into these zones to further support residential connections. Furthermore, Mercy University is joining the program for 2026, which will create increased demand for the system within the Village of Dobbs Ferry, creating further connections between the campus and downtown. This will serve the dual purpose of increasing mobility for students, identified by the University, and increasing activity downtown, identified by the Village. Town of Ossining While the Town of Ossining had relatively low trips compared to other participating municipalities, its use patterns show benefits for purposes of recreation and connecting the town’s residents to the Village of Ossining. 31% of all trips connected the town and village. There is no single outstanding hub that served as a bridge between the two municipalities, indicating that riders were able to access the village when needed from the town’s hubs.

Community E-bike Program Pilot Program Overview The project team received approval from NYSERDA to launch the Community E-bike Program Pilot (formerly known as the E-bike Library Program). The pilot phase of the program will run in partnership with Hudson Link, an Ossining-based organization supporting individuals reentering the community following incarceration. Hudson Link residents often have limited access to personal vehicles and require reliable transportation for essential trips such as employment, probation appointments, shopping, and social services. Based on participant needs, the pilot focuses on electric cargo bikes, which provide additional carrying capacity and stability. The pilot program will support these unique needs by providing people within Hudson Link’s transitional housing program with free access to the bikeshare and the cargo bikes deployed for the program. Hudson Link’s transitional housing program includes 3 group homes in the Village of Ossining, conveniently located near Market Square and Nelson Park. Two e-cargo bikes will be deployed at Market Square and Nelson Park and integrated into the bikeshare network, allowing free access for program participants and paid access for the general public to help offset program costs. The general public will have access to the cargo bikes at a rate of $1 to unlock and $0.30 per minute of use. The pilot program will launch in April and will utilize Drop Mobility’s bikeshare app, as well as operational support to operate the program. The project team will assess the outcomes of the limited-scale pilot with Hudson Link residents to inform a phase 2 full program deployment, which is currently undefined. This assessment will include identification of further CBO partnerships to support residents facing transportation challenges, as well as identifying use patterns to determine what assets are needed for the full program. Furthermore, the assessment will monitor the results of pairing this program with bikeshare operations, and if that approach needs to be modified in the full program.
