More than 400 Bird scooters that had been abandoned in public rights of way in Nashville were seized by the city. Citizens complained about the scooters blocking doorways and sidewalk ramps.

To remedy these concerns, Bird created a “Save our Sidewalks” pledge in an effort to combat the clustering of scooters on walkways. It has three parts: promising daily pickup of scooters, vowing to not increase the number of scooters in a city unless each vehicle is used an average of three times each day, and donating $1 per vehicle per day to be given to city governments for use toward new bike lanes and other transit infrastructure needs.

Among other rules outlined by the city’s new regulations, the scooters must be parked upright and cannot obstruct doorways, ramps, or sidewalks.

Bird’s Safe Start comes after a number of other recent safety-related initiatives, such as our Ride Better campaign, the Safety School video series, and the skid detection feature, which enables our team to proactively identify and address worn tires and risky or unsafe riding behavior.
