Description
Title: Approves a license agreement with VEORIDE INC. dba Veo for three years to operate Denver’s Shared Bike and Scooter Pro-gram, citywide (DOTI-202582850).
Summary
The proposed ordinance outlines a three-year license agreement between the City of Denver and VeoRide Inc. (dba Veo) to operate the city’s Shared Bike and Scooter Program, effective May 2026. This agreement comes after the expiration of existing contracts with Lime and Bird and follows a competitive procurement process. It aims to enhance mobility options across Denver, particularly within the public right-of-way, and includes expanded safety measures, affordable pricing, and improved parking compliance. The program emphasizes equity by providing discounted access for low-income residents and mandates robust operational standards for safety, data reporting, and community engagement. This legislation impacts all Denver residents by promoting accessible and sustainable transportation alternatives while ensuring regulatory oversight by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI).
