Bird Expands Operations in New York City as Part of City\u2019s Growing <\/b>E-Scooter Program<\/b><\/p>\n

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Bird Global, Inc.<\/a> (NYSE:BRDS), a leader in environmentally friendly electric transportation, today announced that it is broadening its operations in New York City in partnership with the NYC Department of Transportation\u2019s (DOT) newly expanded e-scooter program<\/a>. Following Bird\u2019s participation in the DOT\u2019s ongoing pilot e-scooter program in the Bronx and a highly competitive selection process, Bird was chosen as one of a select few micromobility operators to service New York City residents for the next 5+ years. The company will continue operations in the Bronx and begin deploying its e-scooters in Queens in 2024.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBird is thrilled to participate in New York City\u2019s expanded e-scooter sharing program,\u201d said Shane Torchiana, Bird CEO. \u201cWe\u2019ve enjoyed the partnership with NYC DOT over the last two years and look forward to continuing to work together and bringing our scooters to more boroughs, meeting the micromobility needs of even more New Yorkers and connecting them to vital destinations in a safe and sustainable way. We believe if Bird can make it in New York, we can make it anywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nMore than 570,000 Bird rides have taken placesince the company began operations in NYC nearly two years ago. Across the city, commuters constitute 70% of all trips, the highest share of commuters in any North American market in which Bird operates. More than 90% of all rides are taken by NYC residents, making it the leading local market in the U.S. compared to the national average. Active Bird riders in NYC also take an average of 4.6 rides a week with 32% of riders having taken more than 100 trips.<\/p>\n

\nBird is proud to offer a number of features and benefits to riders in NYC including Bird\u2019s inclusive Community Pricing Program<\/a> and free rides<\/a> for healthcare workers and emergency personnel. Learn more at www.bird.co<\/a>.<\/p>\n
