Charlotte, Detroit and Omaha announce a collaborative pilot program to manage micro-mobility in a new way, through sharing best practices and leveraging Passport’s mobility platform. With this solution, the cities can maintain visibility and control over scooter deployments and better manage their curbs, while enabling mobility providers like Bird, Lime, Spin and Razor to more flexibly and conveniently manage their fleets.

OBJECTIVE: Enable the cities to coordinate scooter supply, demand & distribution through pricing access to the curb, helping to reduce
congestion, provide first mile/last mile solutions, create more equitable access to transportation & ultimately create policy for scooter
management

A new era of micro-mobility management
4. Detroit, Charlotte and Omaha, are leading a
collaborative pilot program to manage micro-
mobility in a new way.
These cities will be the first to apply parking
principles, data analysis, and a software platform to
charge for scooter parking in order to balance the
supply, demand and distribution of scooters.
The first-of-its-kind software platform from
Passport will allow cities to:
● Calculate and collect curbside pricing and
payments
● Analyze scooter distribution and usage
patterns
● Manage scooters to address city-level
objectives like equitable access and first/last
mile solutions for transit
A new era of micro-mobility management
5. A new era of micro-mobility management
Working with Passport, we can now gather insight on how our citizens are using these new forms of mobility and
be more strategic about managing scooters using supply/demand economics. With this pilot program, we are now
connected to a network of cities facing the same challenges and we can effectively work together to develop a
new regulatory model that can be scaled nationally.”
– Mark de la Vergne, Chief of Mobility Innovation for the City of Detroit
6. As a city we want to be able to provide our community with the best transportation network that provides access
to jobs, education, transit and housing. We believe e-scooters have the opportunity to enhance our existing
transportation options by providing an easy, low-cost solution that connects riders to the first and last miles of
their commute. Through the pilot we are interested in learning more about how we can implement a dynamic
pricing model that encourages users to ride safely by wearing helmets, following the rules of the road and parking
in a manner that creates a safe environment on our sidewalks.”
– Dan Gallagher, Deputy Director, Charlotte Department of Transportation

7. The introduction of electric scooters brings new opportunities for how people can get around and we want to
ensure that this new form of mobility is managed in the most effective way. We're excited to be a part of this pilot
program, where we can collaborate with other cities, scooter providers and Passport, to develop a mutually-
beneficial scooter management solution.”
