BILLINGS â A study hoping to guide policy on bike and scooter share services in Billings found a bike share would benefit the city more, but would cost about $1 million to start up and $300,000 per year to maintain.
The study cost about $45,000 to conduct and was ordered by the Billings Yellowstone County Metropolitan Planning Organization, which oversees transportation planning for the Billings area, after the city had received multiple requests from bike/scooter share companies around 2019 looking to set up shop.
