Bird Global, Inc. (NYSE:BRDS), a leader in environmentally
friendly electric transportation, today announced its collaboration
with other major industry players, including Dott, Lime,
Superpedestrian, TIER Mobility, and Voi, in issuing industry
recommendations to European cities. These recommendations aim to
facilitate the transition to zero emission transportation through
the adoption of safe and well-integrated micromobility
services.
With the urgent need to combat climate change and reduce
pollution levels in urban areas, the micromobility sector has
emerged as a pivotal solution. Bird recognizes the importance of
cooperation and knowledge-sharing to accelerate the shift towards
sustainable transportation.
“From the outset, Bird Global has been committed to helping
build a sustainable future and we are thrilled to collaborate with
fellow micromobility operators in issuing these industry
recommendations to European cities,” said Shane Torchiana, CEO,
Bird. “We believe that shared electric vehicles have the potential
to revolutionize urban transportation and reduce carbon emissions.
By working together and sharing our insights, we can help cities
develop sustainable and efficient micromobility ecosystems that
benefit everyone.”
The recommendations serve as a guide for European cities looking
to enhance their transportation infrastructure with micromobility
solutions and provide key insights and practical suggestions
pertaining to safety, parking, vehicle maintenance, data sharing,
and public-private partnerships. The recommendations draw from the
collective expertise and experience of the participating companies,
who have successfully operated in cities across Europe and around
the world. By aligning their efforts, the operators aim to provide
European cities with a unified and consistent set of
guidelines.
“Bird is committed to supporting European cities in achieving
their emission reduction goals. By implementing these
recommendations, cities can create cleaner, healthier, and more
livable environments while offering residents and visitors a
convenient and sustainable alternative to traditional modes of
transport,” added Torchiana.
