Isle of Wight Council, GB keeps essential workers mobile with Key Worker Cycle Scheme
Isle of Wight Council, GB Key Worker Cycle Scheme
Complete
The pilot scheme offered loans of bike-share cycles to essential workers including police, healthcare workers, and grocery employees. Each loan included a helmet, a lock, and bike delivery by local providers. Qualifying residents with their own bikes were eligible for 50-pound maintenance vouchers. The Isle of Wight Council used bike-share fleets due to reduced demand from tourists during the pandemic.
Project Succeeded
The pilot period offered bike access to 160 essential workers. The Isle of Wight Council approved a continuation of the pilot in November 2020.
