Exciting News from Bird! 🎉 Today marks a significant leap forward in sustainable urban mobility as we launch e-scooter share services in Eastern Queens! We're thrilled to expand our successful program to this vibrant community, thanks to the initiative led by NYC DOT working with Austin Spademan, Matias Longo, Nathan Barash, and James Coughlin from the Bird team. Covering four community boards and approximately 20 square miles, our e-scooters will connect residents from Flushing to Springfield Gardens, filling critical transportation gaps in areas historically underserved by transit options. At Bird, we're committed to fostering equitable mobility solutions. That's why we're conducting daily on-street outreach for the next three weeks, ensuring our service launch is as inclusive and accessible as possible. From discounted rates for qualifying residents to wheelchair-accessible scooters, our aim is to make sustainable travel a reality for everyone in Eastern Queens. The success of our Bronx pilot, which facilitated over 4.1 million trips since its launch, inspires us to bring the same level of service excellence to Queens. By providing a safe, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional transport modes, Bird is contributing to a greener, more connected #NYC. Join us in celebrating this milestone for urban mobility and stay tuned as we continue to expand our footprint, empowering more communities with convenient and eco-conscious transportation options. Together, let's ride towards a more sustainable future! 🌎 💙 #UrbanMobility #Sustainability #BirdRides #QueensTransport #NYCExpansion

Bird is proud to have partnered with VSV, the Flemish Foundation for Traffic Knowledge, to organize a road safety event during which the participants had the opportunity to experience Bird's e-scooters and learn about safety rules under the guidance of VSV instructors. We are happy that all participants could enjoy a safe and enjoyable experience and will continue to partner with local safety associations to host such events as we see them as an opportunity for Bird to educate the public and our riders regarding safe and responsible riding. ------ Bird is er trots op samen te werken met VSV (Vlaamse Stichting Verkeerskunde), aan een veiligheidsevenement waarbij de deelnemers mogelijkheid hadden om Bird steps te ervaren onder begeleiding van VSV-lesgevers, met insteek op hoe men op een veilige manier met e-steps kunt rijden.
