Denver’s shared bikes and scooters will provide as many as 6 million rides in 2024.
Denver’s public shared bikes and scooters will likely break ridership records this year, according to the Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), with 5.6 million rides so far and 6 million rides projected by the end of the year.
An all-time single day ridership high was recorded on Saturday, June 15, when 39,868 trips were made. September was the highest ridership month, with a recorded 795,823 trips made, according to DOTI data.
As Noah Festenstein explains in The Denver Gazette, “Overall, roughly 19.5 million trips with bikes and scooters were recorded since 2021, according to DOTI data, which shows usage has increased year-over-year.”The city’s e-scooter program is the most used in the country.
To better support micromobility and biking in Denver, DOTI is conducting a user survey to understand ridership behaviors and potential safety concerns.
