NEW ORLEANS (press release) – Hop on a Blue Bike and pedal over to Jazz Fest! Blue Bikes are a fun, healthy and environmentally sustainable way to ride to the festival without the hassles of fighting traffic or bringing your own bike.
This year, Blue Bikes is offering a bike valet service for riders to drop their Blue Bikes off in front of the festival’s Sauvage Street entrance. After enjoying some live music, riders can pick up a Blue Bike from the valet at the corner of Sauvage and Fortin streets to head home.
Here’s How You Can Ride:
Before you head to the fest, download the Blue Bikes Nola app, which is available in the App Store and Google Play. People can choose from different ridership plans and payment options to rent Blue Bikes:
- The Pay As You Go option costs 15 cents per minute and includes a $1 unlocking fee. There is no ongoing commitment required for this option. You will be charged only for the time you use (per minute).
- The Monthly Membership option costs $25 and lets you unlock a Blue Bike without a fee any time you ride. Monthly memberships include up to an hour of free ride time per day, which you can use in multiple trips.
- Through the Blue Bikes for All program, New Orleans residents who qualify for Medicaid or Louisiana Purchase (SNAP) can get a reduced ridership plan of $4 per month.
