The North American Bikeshare and Scootershare Association (NABSA) released its sixth annual Shared Micromobility State of the Industry Report, reporting a 31% increase in ridership in 2024. At least 225 million trips were taken, reflecting the continued growth of shared micromobility in communities of all sizes.

Shared Micromobility Growth

In 2024, 415 cities across North America operated one or more shared micromobility systems. Vehicle deployments increased 19% from 2023 to 333,000.

“Shared micromobility continues to expand in large, mid-sized, and small cities, as well as rural and suburban areas,” said NABSA Executive Director Sam Herr. “It is providing more mobility options and improving public transportation connections.”

Survey data showed 74% of riders use shared micromobility to connect to transit, and 35% of trips replace car travel. Forty-six percent of systems offer adaptive vehicles.

Trip Purpose and Economic Impact

Trips were taken for commuting, errands, social activities, dining, recreation, and other essential purposes, contributing to local economies.

This year’s report also includes examples of parking management strategies and a breakdown of public agency funding and staff support for shared micromobility.

Electrification Trends

In 2024, 79% of systems included e-devices, and 66% of trips were taken on them. E-bike trips hit 64 million, and e-scooter trips reached 85 million. The shift toward electric devices has contributed to emissions reductions, with approximately 101 million pounds of CO₂ offset in 2024 by replacing car trips—403 million pounds since 2019.

Industry Outlook

“Shared micromobility is a strong investment for communities,” Herr said. “Aligning public funding and policy support with its growth is essential for sustainable operations.”

NABSA estimates the industry employs at least 8,200 people in North America. The report was developed in collaboration with Toole Design and the University of California, Berkeley Transportation Sustainability Research Center, using survey responses, system performance reports, and GBFS data.

English and Spanish versions of the report are available at NABSA's website.
