E-scooters launch citywide |
Shared options to travel around town |
Shared e-scooters are launching citywide! E-scooters and e-bikes are cleaner, greener transportation choices that fill gaps in our transportation network, especially by connecting people to transit stops. Â
Â
Through providing shared transportation options with BCycle and Lime, we aim to make it easier for you to get around town without a car, bringing us all closer to our Boulder transportation and climate goals.Â
Â
The new and improved e-scooter program is iterative, building on what we learned from the year-long pilot program, including your feedback and support from boards and council. Â
|
|
Safety is a priority! Lime uses geofencing to automatically require e-scooter slow zones, no-go zones, and parking zones in the city's busiest areas. View the safety flyer. Â
|
Report broken or misparked e-scooters directly to Lime at 1-888-LIME-345 or support@li.me, or use the contact info posted on all e-scooters. Lime will respond within 2 hours. Â
