by James Davies | Mar 31, 2023
 

Bublr's 2022 Annual Report

Learn more about all of amazing things Bublr did in 2022 and how Bublr, as Greater Milwaukee's nonprofit bikeshare operator, makes our region healthier, safer, more equitable, and economically resilient!

 

Join us in welcoming Emmy Yates to the Bublr Team!

Emmy is Bublr’s Director of Operations. She joined the Bublr Team in February. She has a bachelor’s degree in communications and her master’s degree in urban studies. She has always had a deep appreciation for cycling and believes that the bicycle can be an essential tool in bridging barriers in communities and neighborhoods, while fostering a sense of understanding amongst different socio-economic groups. She values bicycle and pedestrian safety and being a part of an organization that is working towards an infrastructure that supports all communities. She believes that whether you’re a non-motorized traveler or not, we’re all pedestrians that need to advocate and invest in safer streets for everyone. When not working at Bublr, her interests are painting and photography. She enjoys foraging, food preservation and sustainable food practices. She has a Saint Bernard named Pearl Jam.

 

Tuesday April 4th is Election Day! As always, Bublr will be offering free 30-minute rides from 6am to 9pm. Learn where to vote, what's on your ballot, and more at myvote.wi.gov.
