Launched in 2020, Capital Bikeshare for All (CBFA) was launched as an equity program that offers a unique $5/year annual membership for people over 16 years old who live in committed-affordable APAH, AHC, properties, or who qualify for several state or federal assistance programs.
Capital Bikeshare for All members have access to unlimited rides within the first 60 minutes of each trip, and no late fees. Additionally, bikes are available 24/7 at more than 600 stations throughout the Washington Metro area. The program also offers e-bikes at no additional charge and the ebikes can be locked at any regular bike rack as well as the regular Capital Bikeshare stations.
