Hey Paris, see you at the podium 🥇🚲 #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics #Olympics2024 #SharedTransportation #RideGreen
Lime invests €6 million on the Paris 2024 Olympics to optimise the transport experience for all 15 million visitors. In preparation for the influx, Lime will deploy 5,000 additional electric bikes, recruit 25% more mechanics, 30% more patrol officers and increase the number of chargers from 40 to 90. “Recently, we have already seen a massive uptick in ridership in Paris. For example, in February 2024 (vs feb 2023), Lime saw a +90.84% increase in bike trips. As a result of the expected surge, the city of Paris has allowed us to increase our fleet by +50% to meet the demand we expect,” Hadi Karam, Lime General Manager Western Europe, told Zag Daily.

We’ve committed to being #NetZero by 2030, which is why it was incredibly important for us to join the 135 other members of the Belgian sustainability network, The Shift vzw/asbl, in signing an open letter to future heads of Belgian and European governments, urging them to commit to building a path towards sustainable economies. We’re confident that when both businesses and civil organizations commit to a net zero, nature-positive and equitable economy, a greener future is possible for all. 💚🌍 #GreenTransportation #Micromobility #Sustainability #Belgium

🏳️🌈 You can’t spell PRIDE without RIDE! 🏳️🌈 Lime has partnered with Pride in London for a second year running for in the UK capital, the majority volunteer-led organisation responsible for London's flagship LGBTQ+ Pride parade since 2013. Lime has donated to support the organisation's Unity Fund that strengthens LGBTQ+ communities by providing support to grassroots organisations. We'll also be donating free rides to all Pride in London employees and volunteers throughout the months for June and July to help everyone get to where they need to be, right on time ahead of parade day… Not only that, but we are building on last year's partnership even further with the launch of our Pride At Home delivery service in partnership with Pride in London. London Lime volunteers will be hopping on two wheels to hand deliver goody bags to those unable to attend the parade in person due to access needs, social anxiety, or other circumstances. Launched with the help of UK Drag Race icon Victoria Scone, and paired with a livestream of the parade, the service aims to help create an at-home celebration as close to the real deal as possible for those that can't join the experience in person. If you have a loved one, or know someone who can’t make it to parade day, you can nominate them to receive a Pride goody bag by following this link: https://bit.ly/4euy69U

We teamed up with the Transportation Research and Education Center (TREC) at Portland State University to explore the taxes and fee structures paid by shared micromobility riders and companies across 120 cities in 16 different countries. ⬇️ Here what they found out: 📊 Fees vary dramatically between cities: Some cities charge no fees, while others impose high per-vehicle or per-trip fees. 💰 Shared micromobility is taxed twice, via sales tax/VAT and program fees: Globally, fees and taxes average 16.4% of fare revenues and make up $0.70 per mile traveled. 🚗 Shared micromobility taxes and fees are higher than most other modes of transportation, especially driving and ride hail: Shared micromobility trips pay fees and taxes that are 23 times higher than what drivers pay in the gas tax and 5 times higher than ride hail trips. 🏢 When deciding on fees, cities are especially concerned with covering administrative costs, as well as influencing operator behaviors: Less consideration was given to ensuring financial feasibility for scooter companies or lower costs for riders, despite the fact that both of these outcomes would positively contribute to the overall success of the shared micromobility system. When cities align micromobility fee structures with their own goals, better programs can be built to ensure a greener future for all. 💚🌎 ➡ Check out the full research here: https://lnkd.in/g3B2Qvth
Shared micromobility (including shared electric scooters and bikes provided by private companies) is one of the newest transportation options that has come to cities in the last several decades. A new report explores the different ways cities charge shared micromobility companies to operate, and how these funds are used. Researchers John MacArthur of Portland State University, Kevin Fang of Sonoma State University and Calvin Thigpen of Lime examine data from 120 cities in 16 countries around the world. They also conducted a survey of cities’ shared micromobility program managers, with responses representing 33 jurisdictions in North America. Digging into how each city made the decision of what to charge, the researchers find that taxes and fees vary dramatically from city to city and may not always reflect the city's stated policy goals. https://lnkd.in/g3B2Qvth
