Divvy For Everyone

Equity on two wheels

We’re working to expand access to bikeshare. It’s part of our ongoing effort to help create safer and healthier communities, pursue equality, and celebrate the diversity that makes our city so incredible.

Reducing fares with Divvy for Everyone

Divvy is proud to partner with The Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the City of Evanston to offer $5 annual memberships for qualifying residents.

Same benefits. Lower price.

Divvy for Everyone members get unlimited 45-minute rides on classic bikes, reduced ebike and scooter rates—and a whole lot more. The easiest way to get going is to use the app, but we can also provide bike keys to members who may not have smartphones.
