Vancouver – Getting around the city will be even more sustainable this Earth Day as Lime External website, opens in new tab announces the expansion of its shared e-scooter system to downtown Vancouver just in time for spring.
Starting this week, residents and visitors will begin to see the installation of Lime parking stations throughout the downtown peninsula. Each parking station will designate a clear end-of-trip location while keeping streets safe and uncluttered. Locations were carefully selected, in collaboration with the City and with feedback from local businesses and residents, to focus on safety, ease of use and access to key downtown routes and destinations.
“I am thrilled for the expansion of the shared e-scooter system which will add even more sustainable transportation options downtown,” says Mayor Ken Sim. “This expansion marks the next important step towards growing into a city-wide program, offering a safe, convenient, affordable, and emissions-free way to get around Vancouver.”
“All of us at Lime are thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to bring shared e-scooters to downtown Vancouver through this milestone expansion in sustainable transportation in the city. This launch wouldn’t be possible without the strong partnership and collaboration alongside the City of Vancouver, local communities and businesses. Together, we’ve built a program that supports the City’s climate goals, commitment to accessibility, and vision for a greener future. In Vancouver, our approach has always been rooted in community including building a local team that understands the city’s needs. We’re excited to continue supporting Vancouver with innovative, people-first mobility options that truly make a difference,” said Sonia Kandola, Senior Director of Government Relations at Lime.
