Our commitment to access
Communities thrive when people are connected. That's why we're finding ways to provide sustainable transportation solutions to members of our communities with varying backgrounds, income and broader range of abilities.
Lime Access is our industry-leading affordability program that provides discounted rides to those who qualify. Lime was the first to introduce discounted e-bike and e-scooter rides, starting in 2018, with a goal of breaking down barriers to sustainable transportation to more communities.
To date, we have served over 17 million trips on Lime Access, impacting over 166,000 riders.
Through our Lime Access program, we are working to make sure everyone in the communities we serve has access to affordable and sustainable transportation. Sometimes, getting around can be expensive, and Lime is working to be a solution to the problem.
