This promo code is good for all locations in the KANcycle service area, including the two racks of bikes in Ellsworth. Bikes are easy to check out. Riders need to download the Movatic app, find a rack with an available bike, enter the promo code on the payment screen, and start riding. To end the ride, the process is reversed.
“We are pleased to offer these events to the public,” said Michelle Griffin, Mobility Manager. “We are continually working together to educate the public on the importance and the availability of transportation options. This statewide event is a great way of showcasing all that Kansas has to offer.”
From November 5 to November 11, 2023, public transportation providers, Mobility Managers, the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) and partners across the state are celebrating the second annual Kansas Mobility Week. Agencies will host events to encourage Kansans to make efficient and safe transportation choices, promote multimodal transportation options, and roll out new initiatives and policies. These events promote travel choices such as public transit, walking, bicycling, safe driving, and ridesharing.
