Origin

(April 9, 2013) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

The City entered into a 10-year agreement with BIXI Toronto Inc. to implement Toronto’s public bicycle program as a municipal capital facility for transportation and recreational purposes. From an operational perspective the BIXI public bicycle program has been very successful. In a very short time it has become an important part of the transportation mix in the downtown area with 4,630 paid subscribers and more than 1.3 million bicycle trips generated since the program launched. BIXI is also a key component of the transportation plan being developed for the Pan Am Games. However, after almost two years of operation BIXI Toronto's current business plan is experiencing difficulty in covering its operating costs, primarily due to the cost of servicing a 100 percent debt-financed asset-base. To protect the City’s financial interest, the Confidential Attachment to this report presents options for restructuring the City’s relationship with BIXI, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement between the City and BIXI Toronto Inc. The Confidential Attachment will be distributed in advance of the April 23, 2013 meeting of Executive Committee.
