Dear neighbor –
The other week, I was delighted to announce the city’s increased availability of electric bikes and scooters by partnering with bike share service providers Bird, Spin and Veo. Spin, which has already been operational in Providence, will increase the number of e-bikes and e-scooters throughout the City, while Bird and Veo, two new additions to the City’s micromobility market, are offering 200 e-bikes and 200 scooters each by September. This expansion marks another step forward in cost-effective, sustainable transit options for residents and visitors alike.
Via Spin Access, Veo Access and Bird Access, e-bikes and e-scooters will be available for people without smartphones, mobile location services, or credit cards.
They also provide discounted fares for those receiving financial assistance through a state or federal program.
Finally, all three partners have a ground team in Providence focused with a focused strategy of maintaining equitable micromobility distribution to all Providence neighborhoods.
To view an interactive map of bike share hub locations in Providence or learn more about the City of Providence’s Micro mobility Program, all residents are encouraged to visit the City’s Micromobility website.
To share feedback or issues, contact the Mayor’s Center for City Services at City Hall by dialing 3-1-1 or downloading the PVD311 mobile app on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
I hope all of you, neighbors and friends, will have an opportunity to jump on an e-bike or e-scooter and explore a part of Providence that inspires you, get some exercise on the way to work, or simply enjoy our beautiful neighborhoods with family and friends.
Sincerely,
Jorge O. Elorza
