In December 2024, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, and Lyft announced plans to expand and improve Citi Bike to meet growing ridership demand and help ensure New Yorkers across the city have equitable access to this system. Beginning in the fall of 2025, Citi Bike service will expand further to Norwood and Riverdale in the Bronx; to Brownsville, East New York, Kensington, and Bay Ridge in Brooklyn; and to west of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens. Additionally, this expansion will add more docks in some of the system’s busiest existing areas to improve access to bikes and parking, including in Midtown and Downtown Manhattan, Harlem and East Harlem, Downtown Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Park Slope.
