By Associated Press - Friday, March 4, 2016

SEATTLE (AP) - The Seattle City Council is one step closer to saving the city’s troubled bike sharing program.

The Seattle Times reports (https://bit.ly/1OViyas ) that on Tuesday the council’s transportation committee voted 4-2 in favor of purchasing the Pronto program for $1.4 million.

Committee Chairman Mike O’Brien initially announced the voting results were 3-3 split, but the council’s official record has been updated to reflect a favorable vote.

The proposed purchase will now head to the full council.
