Breeze System Test Map

Our Breeze Outreach Teams Hit the Street this Weekend!

We did our first training session at Breeze HQ on Saturday and the team hit the street right after to help spread the word on the newest segment of our transportation network, Breeze Bike Share. Our team of volunteers is being mobilized to answer questions and of course take input during the current system testing phase of 7 station and 32 bikes in advance of the full launch of 80 stations and 500 bikes on schedule for early November. System Test Bikes will disappear from the stations during October as the Breeze kicks into full on implementation and installation mode all over Santa Monica and into Venice. Join our team of volunteers and help us stir the momentum on empowering person mobility with this healthy active transportation alternative. Our team members will all be invited to be system testers, come to the launch party and get free Breeze swag.
Find out more here or email us at Volunteer@SMSpoke.org

Our fist teams on the street with more out on Monday at the Broadway and Montana stations at 10am and Main Street & Kinney starting at noon. Hopefully back to Clover Park again sometime in the afternoon. Look for our team members at station and around town in the bright green Breeze t-shirts.
