Rolling Thunder Bike Share

Launching on October 19th, the bike share system promises to be an affordable, accessible, and sustainable transportation option for the university. Gotcha's bike share services will include the siting, installation, operation, maintenance, and ongoing management of the system in partnership with the university.

"We're excited to provide a micro-transit solution for our collegiate partner, Marshall University," said Sean Flood, CEO and Founder of Gotcha. "Our model allows schools to provide affordable, healthy shared mobility options that connect the campus with the larger community in a safe, efficient, and sustainable way."  

The Rolling Thunder system will include 30 GPS-enabled 3-speed gear pedal bikes with Marshall University branding. The hubs will be located at the Drinko Library, Harless Dining Hall, and Marshall Recreation Center. Marshall students and staff can access bikes for free for the first two hours per day and $5 per hour after the first two hours.

"Gotcha's bike share system offers a transportation solution that is easy to access, good for the environment, promotes physical activity and exercise, and keeps costs down compared to building more parking lots and garages," said Amy Parsons-White, M.S.; Sustainability Coordinator, Marshall University. "Our partnership with Gotcha assists in Marshall's goal for becoming a healthier, more sustainable, active campus."
