We’ve committed to being #NetZero by 2030, which is why it was incredibly important for us to join the 135 other members of the Belgian sustainability network, The Shift vzw/asbl, in signing an open letter to future heads of Belgian and European governments, urging them to commit to building a path towards sustainable economies. We’re confident that when both businesses and civil organizations commit to a net zero, nature-positive and equitable economy, a greener future is possible for all. 💚🌍 #GreenTransportation #Micromobility #Sustainability #Belgium

🔈The sidewalk should be safe for everyone! We're excited to be sponsoring the 2024 Braille Challenge as we continue to support the work of the Braille Institute of America!

🏳️🌈 You can’t spell PRIDE without RIDE! 🏳️🌈 Lime has partnered with Pride in London for a second year running for in the UK capital, the majority volunteer-led organisation responsible for London's flagship LGBTQ+ Pride parade since 2013. Lime has donated to support the organisation's Unity Fund that strengthens LGBTQ+ communities by providing support to grassroots organisations. We'll also be donating free rides to all Pride in London employees and volunteers throughout the months for June and July to help everyone get to where they need to be, right on time ahead of parade day… Not only that, but we are building on last year's partnership even further with the launch of our Pride At Home delivery service in partnership with Pride in London. London Lime volunteers will be hopping on two wheels to hand deliver goody bags to those unable to attend the parade in person due to access needs, social anxiety, or other circumstances. Launched with the help of UK Drag Race icon Victoria Scone, and paired with a livestream of the parade, the service aims to help create an at-home celebration as close to the real deal as possible for those that can't join the experience in person. If you have a loved one, or know someone who can’t make it to parade day, you can nominate them to receive a Pride goody bag by following this link: https://bit.ly/4euy69U

We teamed up with the Transportation Research and Education Center (TREC) at Portland State University to explore the taxes and fee structures paid by shared micromobility riders and companies across 120 cities in 16 different countries. ⬇️ Here what they found out: 📊 Fees vary dramatically between cities: Some cities charge no fees, while others impose high per-vehicle or per-trip fees. 💰 Shared micromobility is taxed twice, via sales tax/VAT and program fees: Globally, fees and taxes average 16.4% of fare revenues and make up $0.70 per mile traveled. 🚗 Shared micromobility taxes and fees are higher than most other modes of transportation, especially driving and ride hail: Shared micromobility trips pay fees and taxes that are 23 times higher than what drivers pay in the gas tax and 5 times higher than ride hail trips. 🏢 When deciding on fees, cities are especially concerned with covering administrative costs, as well as influencing operator behaviors: Less consideration was given to ensuring financial feasibility for scooter companies or lower costs for riders, despite the fact that both of these outcomes would positively contribute to the overall success of the shared micromobility system.   When cities align micromobility fee structures with their own goals, better programs can be built to ensure a greener future for all. 💚🌎 ➡ Check out the full research here: https://lnkd.in/g3B2Qvth
