Zachary Baldwin, director of mobility, data, and research for the Southwest Business Improvement District, said the project is “forward thinking in a way that we appreciate, because it applies a sharing economy mindset to a real problem: How do you deliver efficiently on an e-bike when your battery runs out? It’s a sustainable project, because it helps move people and importantly, things, without cars.” wtop.com/dc/2026/04/why-dc-i…
