Planetizen - Shared micromobility users in the United States and Canada took a record 157 million trips in 2023, according to a report from the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO). “People took 133 million trips on shared micromobility in the U.S. Trips in the U.S. increased by 16% in 2023, driven largely by the continued growth of e-bike trips on larger station-based systems.” Canadian riders took 24 million trips. The report notes that “Despite the overwhelming popularity of these systems, many cities are grappling with the challenges of providing this essential service while facing limited financial and operational resources. A volatile private operator landscape coupled with increasing user costs threatens to limit the potential for shared micromobility to be affordable and accessible to all.”
