WE LIVE FOR MAGIC

We live for the lights, the music, the food, the learning, the inspiration, and the togetherness. We live for positive change and transformative experiences that blaze a path toward endless possibilities. The awesome potential of every event keeps us on our toes and, sometimes, knee-deep in caffeine. But the magic of pulling it all off? Totally worth it.

WE GET IT DONE

Last minute request? Done. Idea about how to do something better? Done. Guest who wants something we’ve never heard of—now, if possible? Done. And done. YES is the answer. Determination, creativity and teamwork are how we deliver on it.

OCC site of one of 100 new BIKETOWN bike share stations

Jul. 20, 2016, community stories

BIKETOWN, Portland’s next generation bike share system, launched on July 19. Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) and its partners unveiled a map of the first 100 BIKETOWN station locations. The map is available at BIKETOWNPDX.com. The stations house 1,000 "smart bikes" with the latest technology. Customers are able to check out a bike using a smartphone, a computer, a member card, or by typing in their member number and PIN into the keypad on the bike. Bikes can also be parked at thousands of publicly-accessible bike racks in the service area. Every bike’s exact location can be viewed in real-time from the system’s website or smartphone app. The app is available here.

OCC has a corral of 16 bikes at the corner of NE Holladay Street and MLK Boulevard near the Convention Center TriMet MAX train station.

BIKETOWN stations were selected with extensive public involvement. An online portal received more than 4,500 comments, and PBOT staff led more than 40 meetings with community groups, local businesses and five public workshops.

The cost of an annual membership for BIKETOWN is $12 per month, and includes 90 minutes of riding time each day. Single-ride passes and 24-hour passes are also be available for those who want to use the program more occasionally, including tourists.

Nike designed the innovative visual identity for BIKETOWN's standard bike, which is modeled after the Nike orange shoe box. BIKETOWN features three unique, limited-edition bike wrap designs – inspired by iconic Nike sneakers – across 100 of the system’s 1,000 bikes.

"The OCC is very excited to host one of the 100 new BIKETOWN locations," said OCC Deputy Director Matt Pizzuti. "It offers visitors a convenient, sustainable, and fun way to explore the neighborhood around the Convention Center, and beyond! Thank you Nike for sponsoring!"
