emissions per passenger kilometer of our scooter is 38g CO2e , comparable to many forms of public transit .
But we aren ’ t stopping there – we continue to improve upon our products by designing them with sustainability , durability and circularity in mind .
As a leading micromobility operator , it ' s our job to offer eco-friendly modes of transportation to our riders that enable sustainable mobility . We strive to operate sustainably , minimising our emissions footprint and the impacts we have on the climate and environment . We hope that the entire 15-minute city transportation ecosystem can operate this way .
70 % Cities account for global emissions
50 % of car trips in the U . S . are less than three miles
95 % cars spend of their inanimate existences parked
48 % cycling increase in cities that added bikerelated infrastructure
Equity , Inclusion , Access
Mobility is about access – to jobs , education , healthcare and a range of other products and services .
Access to reliable and affordable transportation is core to the concept of the 15-minute city and to improving economic mobility and quality of life for all urban residents . Micromobility can lift barriers to access of services , particularly in neighborhoods underserved by public transportation .
Equitable access impacts the lives of potential users by connecting them to more job opportunities and reducing the time it takes to travel to those opportunities . NABSA ’ s 2020 ‘ State of the Industry Report ’ found that studies across nine cities indicate that 44 % more jobs were accessible within five minutes or less when pairing shared micromobility service with public transportation and walking .
In a city – like Pittsburgh – where 65 % of low-income residents lack access to a vehicle , and residents without a vehicle can only access about 40 % of the region ’ s jobs within a 90-minute commute , providing additional transportation options can greatly enhance access to jobs and other opportunities .
‘ Move PGH ’ is Spin ’ s groundbreaking mobility-as-a-service ( MaaS ) program with the City of Pittsburgh , designed to address key equity and access issues . As part of the program , Spin intends to work with the City , local non-profit organisations and researchers at a local university and the Urban Institute , on a ‘ Guaranteed Basic Mobility ’ pilot program to cover the cost of Move PGH transportation options for up to 50 low-income Pittsburgh residents over one year .
During the trial period , the researchers will measure the impact on participants ’ economic mobility , health and travel-based behaviour , to ensure the program ’ s long-term sustainability .
Early ridership data from the Move PGH program indicates that scooters can help connect people to reliable and affordable transportation , particularly in underserved communities .
