Capital Bikeshare Green Mobility Hubs Program

Washington, DC

Capital Bikeshare, operating in seven jurisdictions in and around Washington, D.C, is the second largest bikeshare system in the U.S. 

Project Scope

  • Transportation and Mobility

  • Stormwater Management

  • Best Management Practices

  • Due Diligence

  • Permit Compliance

  • Construction Scheduling

  • Contract Evaluation

  • Design and Construction Oversight

The Capital Bikeshare Green Mobility Hubs Program is designed to treat surface stormwater runoff using green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) facilities near the location of Capital Bikeshare Stations. The program is supported by a Clean Water Construction Grant awarded to the Low Impact Development Center by the D.C. Department of Energy and the Environment, and by a private capital match from Rainplan’s capital facility with DC Green Bank.

CIS will provide project management, design, and construction oversight services that are consistent with several ongoing projects currently in the pipeline of implementing GSI facilities at bike sharing stations. The goal is to (1) maximize the detention capacity (2) manage and secure permit approvals, and (3) ensure the certification of each bike station retrofit to capture stormwater that will alleviate flooding in the D.C. area including underserved neighborhoods for Stormwater Retention Credits.

Anticipated Results

CIS will oversee the implementation of GSI to meet Clean Water Construction grant requirements, which includes installation of best management practices to manage stormwater runoff at approximately 23 bikeshare hubs. CIS will ensure construction schedules and budgets are created, followed, and documented in compliance with the grant requirements. 

Finally, CIS will ensure construction is completed in accordance with the design documents and permits, and in compliance with Davis Bacon and other regulations.
