Alternative transportation connecting our neighborhoods! Congratulations!

It’s almost time. June 22 marks the commencement of MTA’s Route 42 Northside Plaza/Livingston Park. The route travels north on Maple St from Price Rite on Valley St to Livingston Park and Northside Plaza. The bus will then travel south on Beech St to the Elliot Health Center back to Price Rite. All MTA buses are ADA accessible and this service will operate hourly from 7:15am until after 4:00pm daily, including Saturdays.

This pilot program was developed through the Age-Friendly Manchester Initiative, led by the City of Manchester NH Health Department, to improve mobility, independence, and access to essential destinations for older adults and residents throughout our community.

Thank you to everyone who makes this important program a success: the students, the teachers & staff, QC Bike's dozens of volunteers & very few staff, the funders & individual supports, and of course, the parents!

This month, 157 fourth-grade students at Beech Street and Gossler Park Elementary Schools received either a refurbished bicycle package or sports equipment through Queen City Bicycle Collective’s Earn-a-Bike/Be Active Program, just in time for summer.

And this week is Earn-a-Bike/Be Active delivery day at Gossler Park Elementary School's Block Party! We love to do this work!

Dozens of kids at Beech Street School in Manchester now have their own bicycles thanks to their hard work in the classroom. FULL STORY ⬇️
