That's right. But I think there are a very wide ranging consequences because even though these are local journalists in fact, 97 percent of them are. The local journalists are the ones who ferret out the news stories that are eventually covered by the international press that you and I you know rely on for our international news. So it's not just a matter of you know local stories that aren't getting covered locally which obviously is to the detriment of those populations. But these days news like all other goods and services you know travel across borders and we need that news to flow freely. Bay Area Bike Share operator Motivate — which manages the program under a contract with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) — today announced a seven-year partnership agreement with Ford Motor Company that will allow Brooklyn, N.Y.-based Motivate to complete its plan for a tenfold expansion of the region’s bike share network to 7,000 bicycles from the current 700, at no cost to taxpayers for bikes, station equipment or operating staff. Under the terms of the agreement, Bay Area Bike Share will be rebranded as Ford GoBike.

Shifting the Bay Area’s bike share system from a limited pilot program to a robust regional transportation option will add scores of new station locations in San Francisco and San Jose, and bring bike sharing for the first time to the East Bay with locations in Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville. Motivate has identified over 120 station locations to date, and is continuing a robust planning process that so far has included 19 public workshops and more than 100 meetings with local elected officials, and neighborhood and business groups.

The first new bike stations are slated for installation by spring 2017, with the expansion continuing through 2017 and 2018. Public costs for the bike share expansion are limited to permitting review by local cities; targeted outreach to low-income and minority residents; and the distribution of membership passes. Twenty percent of the new stations will be placed in lower-income neighborhoods designated by MTC as Communities of Concern, and discounted membership passes will be made available to customers enrolled in Bay Area utility lifeline programs.
