ALBANY, N.Y. – May 3, 2022 – The Capital District Transportation Authority (CDTA) and CDPHP announced today that the 2022 season of CDPHP Cycle! will begin on Wednesday, May 4, 2022.

“CDPHP Cycle! continues to be a valuable mobility option for our region, particularly as a healthier alternative to driving short or even more lengthy distances,” said President and CEO of CDPHP, Dr. John D. Bennett. “The expansion of the program to connect even more areas in Watervliet and Menands will undoubtedly attract more riders. I commend our partners at CDTA for finding new and innovative ways to keep moving CDPHP Cycle! forward.”
