Fort Smith pilot project to bring bike stations for low-income residents

A new community-based effort to bring more transportation options to low-income residents is set to begin early next year.

Stakeholders in the University of Arkansas and Fort Smith want seven stations equipped with electric and non-electric bicycles in the city as part of a pilot project with research components. The project is called Shared Micromobility for affordable-accessible housing and paid through the Virginia-based National Science Foundation.
