2024 has been an incredible year for #SharedMobility. As we look ahead, we’re excited to share a few important milestones on strengthening our city partnerships and achieving profitability: 🚀 🚀 Spin is thriving and consistently profitable, now and expected for the full year – a major achievement that puts us in our strongest financial position ever. We’re looking forward to refreshing our fleets of e-bikes and scooters along with further expansion into new markets as our core focus for 2025. 🌉 🏙 📈 We're thrilled to continue growing our presence in cities and universities across the country, including the City and County of San Francisco, City of Columbus, City of Dallas, City of Detroit, City of Durham, City of Baltimore, UC San Diego, University of California, Davis, and the City of Fort Myers. 🚲 🛴 > 🚗 💨 In the last year alone, our riders have traveled over 60 million miles globally, which equates to circling the earth more than 2,400 times and tens of millions of motor vehicle trips not taken. Together, these riders also helped prevent 12,240 metric tons of C02 emissions from entering the atmosphere! #Micromobility #SustainableTransportation #ElectricMobility #SmartCities #EcoFriendly #CityPartners #RideSpin

One of the best decisions Spin has made in the past couple of years was to prioritize our investment and partnership with the City of Columbus, home to nearly 1m people as well as one of the largest universities in the country, The Ohio State University. That meant bringing our newest and safest e-scooter technology, growing our fleet, and investing in the training and development of our local W-2 operations team led by the one and only Steven Needham. During the first half of 2024, we saw an amazing 35% growth in trips. Better yet, this increased ridership was enabled by double digit growth coming from Access Zones, which provide automatic discounts on trips beginning in historically disadvantaged areas. As a result, we've further expanded those Access Zones and we expect to see this growth continue. None of this would be possible without the collaboration and support from our city partners, as well as the residents, visitors, students and workers living in Columbus. To say thank you and to celebrate this collective impact, we're throwing a party at our local HQ and all are invited. We'll have food, music, free scooter rides (and promos), and good vibes 🤙 Hope you all can drop by and join us!

Congrats to the City of Baltimore and Baltimore City Department of Transportation on being a top 10 shared micromobility market in the US - with more than 1 million trips served in 2023! We are so proud to have contributed to the success of the program, with more than 850k trips on Spin scooters in 2023 alone. We kicked off 2024 by bringing our brand new scooters and bikes, and offering more low- and no-cost trips to income-eligible residents. Most importantly, we are thrilled to continue working with such an incredible partner in BCDOT to empower residents to move around sustainably and affordably.
The National Association of City Transportation Officials has released its Shared Micromobility in 2023 Snapshot, and Baltimore got a special mention! 40% of all 2023 dockless e-scooter trips took place in just 10 cities, with Baltimore being one of them with 1 million trips.

The City of Baltimore always goes the extra mile during #BiketoWorkWeek and #BiketoWorkDay, and this year was no exception! Earlier today, the SPIN team had a great time discussing and showing off our e-bikes with the Lt. Governor of Maryland Aruna Miller. It was such a pleasure to also exchange with the Mayor of Baltimore Brandon M. Scott, Director Corren Johnson, Baltimore City Department of Transportation, Maryland Department of Transportation, and MTA Maryland, all joining in the fun!

Excited to share some big news! Spin is joining the Bird (BRDS) Family! As a separate and standalone company, we embark on this next chapter with the same unwavering commitment to being the preferred partner of cities and universities across the country, with unmatched in-house local operations and equity-based practices. Looking ahead, we believe the Spin-Bird partnership is a positive milestone for our two companies as well as the micromobility industry. Together, we expect to better serve our city and campus partners, while continuing to invest in the future of equitable and sustainable transportation. And while there are too many people to thank individually, we must shoutout a few Spin stars for their enormous contributions over the last eighteen months, namely: Philip Reinckens for leading Spin to its strongest financial position to date with the support of Constantin Winckler, Claudia-Celine Sainz-Schachter, Brandon Kaufman, Efrén A. Lamolda, Zivago Lee, Eric Williamsen, John Lankford, and Brit Moller. On the Operations side, Shayne Maupin, Matias Longo, Jason Shaffner, Pete Veach, Michael Beck, and many others who delivered our top-of-class service. See: https://lnkd.in/g67t6vxe
