What’s New!
New Bikes
Keep your eye out for a brand new fleet of 150 GPS-enabled bikes with dockless technology around The University of South Florida. The blue “Coast” bikes can be locked by pushing down on the lever located near the rear wheel.
Dockless Technology
With dockless bike share, you have the flexibility of ending a ride outside of hubs. Or end your ride inside dedicated bike share parking zones or “HOPR Ponds”, identified by a physical structure or as a shaded green are in the HOPR Transit app.
New System Area
At USF, the system area will now include off-campus housing, making student and faculty commutes even easier. The system area has been expanded to include the neighborhoods of Park Place of Tampa, Sweetwater Oaks, and Vieux Carre. Before riding a Coast Powered by HOPR bike, please familiarize yourself with the system area map, available on our app or at gohopr.com/tampabay. You may be subject to a $25 fee if ending your ride outside of the system area.
