MoGo Offers Free Monthly Pass Beginning March 30

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic MoGo, Detroit’s non-profit bike share system, announced today that it is now offering its Monthly pass for free.

“These are challenging times for all of us,” said Lisa Nuszkowski, founder and executive director, MoGo. “Whether you are an essential employee who needs to get to work or are looking to add some physical activity to your day, MoGo is here to continue serving the needs of our community.”

Riders can sign up for MoGo’s free Monthly pass via the Transit app. No promotional code is needed. Additionally, all existing Monthly pass holders will renew this month for free. MoGo’s Monthly pass is good for 30 days and provides an unlimited number of station-to-station trips up to 30 minutes. Overage fees still apply to trips over 30 minutes.

Cities such as New York have seen a surge in bike-share ridership since the start of the crisis, as more people have opted to avoid enclosed spaces and use other forms of transportation to get around.

Under current health guidelines, bike riding is a great way to get exercise while maintaining a safe and healthy distance from others. MoGo encourages all riders to protect themselves by riding solo until the COVID-19 pandemic ends and to thoroughly wash their hands with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60 percent alcohol content after riding.

To help keep riders safe, MoGo has added enhanced cleaning procedures to its routine bike and station checks. Handlebars and seats are thoroughly cleaned, as well as docking points, kiosk screens, credit card slots, and receipt dispensers. The MoGo team is regularly cleaning its vans, and any bikes that are in the warehouse for maintenance are thoroughly cleaned before returning to the field.

The health and safety of MoGo riders and the community we serve is our top priority. With recent developments around coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to share the actions our team is taking to help protect you — and what you can do to help.

What MoGo is doing to keep you and our community safe

• We are closely following updates on COVID-19, including guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the State of Michigan, and the Detroit Health Department. We’ll continue to take actions necessary to help protect the community.

• We have added enhanced cleaning processes to our routine bike and station checks. Handlebars and seats will be thoroughly cleaned, as will docking points, kiosk screens, credit card slots, and receipt dispensers. Our team will also regularly clean our vans, and any bikes that are in our warehouse for maintenance will be thoroughly cleaned before returning to the field. 

What you can do to keep yourself and the community safe

• Avoid close contact with others who are sick.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, touched public surfaces, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
• If you can’t wash your hands with soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol content.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Cover your nose and mouth if you have to cough or sneeze, and wash or sanitize your hands as soon as you can.

For more information about COVID-19, please visit the CDC’s website.

Thank you for being a part of the MoGo community — stay safe and healthy.
