Long Beach, California, launched a citywide, app-enabled bike share program earlier this month—part of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority ’s push to reduce traffic congestion in the region.

Users simply download the Social Bicycles app, select the Long Beach Bike Share system and find a plan that fits their budget. The app is used to locate and unlock the bikes.

Bikeshare planning group CycleHop , which has been involved in programs in Phoenix, Tampa, Orlando and Santa Monica and Beverly Hills in Southern California, received a $2.3 million grant from Metro to start a similar operation in Long Beach with 100 bikes at 10 stations and expand it to 500 bikes at 50 stations across the city, California’s seventh most-populous.

“Their success, it’s going to be a success for Metro,” Diego Cardoso, Metro’s sustainability policy manager, said at the launch. “We’re investing a lot of money in active transportation in Southern California, and we need to follow the example of Long Beach when it comes to infrastructure on the streets.”

Long Beach brings the number of U.S. cities Social Bicycles operates in to 11. The company also operates in Canada, Australia and soon Krakow, Poland.

Sharers can rent bicycles by the hour or as part of their membership pass. Options include $3.50 for 30 minutes, $21 for four hours or $15 a month for 60 minutes daily—bumped to 90 minutes for an extra $5.
