UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Zagster, Penn State’s bike-share provider since 2017, is permanently suspending operations at all locations nationwide, including University Park, effective immediately.

Zagster bikes and stations will be removed from campus over the coming weeks.

As Zagster’s contract with Penn State was set to expire this summer, Transportation Services began the request-for-proposal process for a new bike-share vendor earlier this year and plans to announce a new vendor later this summer.

Current Zagster members with remaining time on their annual membership will receive a special offer for the new campus bike-share service when it is available. Bike-share members who have any questions about Zagster payment, charges or credit cards must contact Zagster directly.

For questions, email biking@psu.edu.
