🚲🛴🌆 Toronto’s Future Needs All Forms of Shared Micromobility At Bird, we’re passionate about helping cities thrive with sustainable, innovative transportation solutions. Our Canadian Head of Partnerships, Austin Spademan, recently shared his insights in the Toronto Star about why shared e-scooter and e-bike programs are essential to Toronto’s future. In the article, Austin highlights the critical role these programs can play in reducing congestion 🚦, cutting emissions 🌱, and connecting communities 🤝. He also underscores how a regulated shared micromobility program could have strengthened Toronto's stance against Bill 212 (which seeks to remove bike lanes), offering a compelling alternative for urban transportation. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gQMNBxfs We remain committed to working with policymakers and communities to bring safe, equitable, and impactful micromobility solutions to cities globally 🌎. What are your thoughts on the potential for shared micromobility in urban areas like Toronto? Let us know in the comments! #Micromobility #Sustainability #UrbanTransportation #SmartCities
Toronto wants to fight Doug Ford’s bike lane removal. So why is the city taking this crucial step back?

Soaring into November and looking back proudly on the work Bird riders did in October to live out our mission of creating vibrant communities that have less traffic and cleaner air. 💙🌎 For the 3rd year in a row, Bird participated in #CaliforniaCleanAirDay, a project of the Coalition for Clean Air. We are proud to be awarded as the #1 pledging organization, offering free Bird rides on Clean Air Day and having 930 riders and employees pledging to do their part: choosing cleaner alternatives, making more sustainable lifestyle changes, and creating a positive impact on California's air pollution crisis. Bird is passionate about improving the communities we operate in, and the annual California Clean Air Day is a reminder of actions big and small that you can do to build a Cleaner California. Every choice counts, like choosing an e-scooter over a car! 🛴 To learn more about the Coalition for Clean Air's work, or get involved for 2025's California Clean Air Day, visit www.cleanairday.org.
Thank you for celebrating the 7th annual #CleanAirDayCA with us! Check out some event highlights. 👓
