Good Afternoon Bozeman City Officials!
As you may or may not already know, cities such as Spokane, WA have been served by Lime
scooters and bikes since 2018, and proven itself to be a valuable program there, with tourismpartnerships and very positive metrics and impressions. The success of the program means a
company like ours would happily be willing to expand to Bozeman!
Recently, we have found that 80% of scooter riders report they visit localbusinesses more when scooters are present, and make business districts and downtowns more
vibrant by attracting people to come downtown to enjoy the scooters and shop. Another largeNorth American city recently found that 1/3 of riders spent over $50 at local businesses on
their last downtown visit in which they rode a scooter.
We say all of this because we would be open to bringing scooters to Bozeman if city officialsagreed to it. Would this concept, as an economic recovery effort (that is free to the city), be
something your city would be open to discussing?
We look forward to discussing further,
