Are You Interested in Connecting Your Community to Indego?

Indego Community Ambassadors collaborate with Indego to offer residents valuable bike safety education resources. This role involves aiding individuals in recognizing safe riding spaces within their community, ultimately inspiring and encouraging them to utilize Indego for their rides. Community Ambassadors will also share information on how to sign up for an Indego pass and the various pass options, in addition to Indego’s expansion and how communities can be a part of the process.

Where is Indego? You can view a map of the Indego system at www.rideindego.com/stations. If there aren’t any Indego stations in your community yet, we still encourage you to apply, as Indego is in the middle of a large-scale, system expansion.

Responsibilities: Community Ambassadors will organize two bike-related activities, table at least one community event, share information on upcoming Indego rides, classes, and promotions, help the community learn more about Indego, and serve as the Indego voice for their community.
