An organization in Linn County is seeking donations of bicycles to help people who may have no other form of transportation available during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization, a group made up of elected and appointed officials from several Linn County municipalities to coordinate transportation planning and investments, is seeking bicycles that people are not using to be repurposed for those who need transportation.
"They have no way to get to work, no way to get out of their home, no way to get groceries. Having a bicycle is a great way for transportation," Brandon Whyte, multimodal transportation planner for Corridor MPO, said.
