Update on NYC DOT Shared E-Scooter Pilot Program
|
|
|
Since the August 2021 launch of the shared e-scooter pilot program that started last year in the Northeast Bronx (serving Eastchester, Wakefield, Pelham Parkway, and Co-Op City), residents and visitors have taken over 425,000 rides, an average of more than 2,100 rides per day. DOT plans to expand the service area in June 2022, bringing the pilot to Parkchester, Soundview, and Throggs Neck. The three participating companies, Bird, Lime and Veo, will continue to provide service across the East Bronx. Click to access the feedback map which allows users to place pins down at locations where they’d like to see designated parking corrals, which will help organize the scooters on busy corridors. The Bronx Chamber of Commerce was glad to be part of the launch effort last year, and will continue to support ongoing promotion of this initiative to improve access to afforable transportation options in the borough.
