"A seeming bit of good news yesterday from the Department of Transportation - an announcement that a secure bike parking company had been selected - suddenly got weird when it turned out that the winning firm was not the one everyone expected. As Streetsblog and amNY, the West Coast transportation firm Tranzito was picked to install secure bike parking at hundreds of locations starting next year. That's promising, although Mayor Mamdani will have to finish a job that Mayor Adams should have started four years ago."
The New York City Department of Transportation selected West Coast firm Tranzito to install secure bike parking at hundreds of locations beginning next year. The selection bypassed New York-based, Black-owned Oonee, which previously installed Oonee pods across the city and suburbs. Oonee founder Shabazz Stuart reported that DOT did not interview him and described the outcome as extremely distressing. Former DOT personnel and outside experts raised concerns about procurement competence and possible improprieties. The new administration will need to complete secure bike parking expansion efforts that were delayed under the prior administration.
