The latest report from the North American Bikeshare and Scootershare Association (NABSA) shows that over 225 million shared micromobility trips took place across the USA, Canada and Mexico last year – a 31% increase compared to 2023.

The 6th Annual Shared Micromobility State of the Industry Report takes survey data from shared micromobility operators and public agencies, plus academic research, census data and more.

Key statistics

• 225 million+ trips taken in 2024
• 415 cities have one or more shared micromobility scheme in place
• 74% of riders use shared micromobility to connect to transit, with 22% reporting they do it weekly
• 35% of shared micromobility trips reduce congestion by replacing car trips
• 66% of trips in 2024 were on electric-powered vehicles
• 84.9 million trips in 2024 were taken on e-scooters, 64.4 million on e-bikes
• Approximately 46 million kg of CO2 emissions offset in 2024 by replacing car trips

“It’s amazing, but not surprising, to see how shared micromobility continues to grow and grow” said NABSA Executive Director Sam Herr. “It is so clearly providing meaningful service to get people where they need to go.” The report shows that this is not just for big cities but also smaller and mid-sized cities, rural and suburban communities, that are all implementing shared micromobility to provide mobility options, improve public transportation, and create community vibrancy
