Chicago Divvy Bicycle Stations Locations

[embed][Interactive Map of all Divvy Bicycle stations in Chicago](http://Divvy is Chicago’s bike share system that allows people to rent bikes to use around the city. After launching in 2013, Divvy has been able to make this form of transportation easily accessible to Chicago residents and visitors, and helps decrease the amount of car traffic in the city. Starting off with only 75 stations and 750 bikes, Divvy has expanded to over 800 stations and 16,000 bikes in the past 10 years. Riders can go to any Divvy station in order to rent a bike, and drop it off at another station after their commute. After purchasing a pass, riders can take unlimited 45-minute trips on the bikes, and trips under 30 minutes are free when you dock the bike at a station before the time limit. This interactive map indicates all the locations of Divvy bike stations, showing where they can be picked up and dropped off. Over the past 10 years, Divvy has been able to expand its station’s locations to all 50 legislative districts, as of this past May. Meaning, Divvy is focusing on increasing the accessibility and availability of its bikes to everyone. Also expanding to the Evanston suburb in 2016, with a concentration of stations near the Northwestern campus. Though there has been notice of discrimination for the location of Divvy bike stations, as a significant amount of them have been concentrated in the north side of Chicago. Divvy has been able to combat this with the increase of stations throughout every district, though some neighborhoods still have a scarce number of Divvy stations. Divvy stills plans on expanding to more locations throughout Chicago. Divvy’s encompassing, and ever growing program, it has become an integral aspect of transportation in Chicago. Its success demonstrates bike sharing's potential to transform cities into cycling-friendly spaces supporting greener, active transportation.) (Dataset by data.cityofchicago.org Map: Riley Malcolm)
