Let’s go, Eastern Queens! Starting today, borough residents can use Veo shared scooters to get where they need to go! Kudos to Mayor Adams and the New York City Department of Transportation for building on the success of the program in the East Bronx to expand safe, affordable, and sustainable scooter share to more New Yorkers. We at Veo couldn’t be more excited to keep things rolling in Eastern Queens! It’s been an exciting past three years in the Bronx, where residents and visitors have taken over 4 million trips to date. A few highlights: 🛴 An overwhelmingly strong safety record: Our partnership with the City puts rider safety first. Since the program’s launch, DOT has recorded few serious injuries and no fatalities, with fewer than one crash reported per 10,000 trips. #VisionZero 🛵Riders demand options: In the Bronx (and now Queens!), Veo offers a mixed fleet of standing and seated scooters. Our seated Cosmo scooter, with large tires, a seat, and a low center of gravity, is our rider-favorite in the Bronx. 🚌 Bridging transit gaps in neighborhoods not served by subways: Nearly 40% of Veo’s Bronx riders report using scooters to connect to transit, showing how shared scooters are becoming a critical part of New York City’s transportation system. ✅ Equity as a priority. Veo’s Access Pricing model has provided thousands of truly affordable trips for low-income New Yorkers, with our $5 a month membership unlocking free daily riding and other perks. Shout out to Jeffrey Hoover, Joe Bott, Larry Rosman, Jeremy Andrade, Marta Vitolins, and many more for their hard work on our Queens expansion. Stay tuned - we can’t wait to report back on our program rollout in Eastern Queens. Learn more about the Eastern Queens launch: https://lnkd.in/guiQEEy9
