Scooters Returning To Atlanta In 4 Phases

ATLANTA, GA — The popular scooters that used to be spotted throughout Atlanta pre-pandemic, are returning. The City of Atlanta announced that they’ve launched phase one of bringing back new scooters for rent.

There will be a total of four phases. Four companies will make them available for rent:
Bird, Helbiz, Spin, and Veoride.

The first phase will include the limited deployment of small fleet sizes, with fleet deployments increasing in size in the second and third phases. The fleet size deployment in the fourth and final phase will be adjusted based on operations and public health needs.

City officials say that “operations will be monitored daily, with fleet size and staged implementation timelines adjusted should any public health concerns emerge.”

In addition, Helbiz will provide e-bikes and Veoride will offer sit-down scooters.

“Atlanta, like many major cities, understands the need to present options of various modes of transportation,” said ATLDOT Commissioner Josh Rowan. “Dockless mobility devices are just one part of this equation. Our goal is to ensure we adhere to the input we received under our previous program and to improve our delivery in addressing the city’s transportation needs.”
