The seeds for MoGo were planted in Wayne State University’s Office of Economic Development in 2012. Several local foundations and corporations helped fund a feasibility study in 2013, which has served as the road map for implementing bike share in Detroit. MoGo became a non-profit affiliate of the Downtown Detroit Partnership in 2015.
MoGo is made possible through a significant partnership with Henry Ford Health System y Health Alliance Plan (HAP), and a partnership with the City of Detroit Department of Transportation, which helped secure federal non-motorized transit funding for MoGo. MoGo selected PBSC Urban Solutions, the system's equipment provider, and Shift Transit, who operates the system.
MoGo operates in 10 neighborhoods in the greater downtown area of Detroit, as well as Northwest Detroit, Ferndale, Oak Park, Huntington Woods, Berkley, and Royal Oak.
