About the Shared Dockless Vehicle Program

The City's scooter share and e-bike share program, collectively known as the "Shared Dockless Vehicle Program," allows for the rental of scooters and e-bikes. Three companies are currently permitted to place motor-assisted scooters or e-bikes in the public right-of-way for people to rent.  Bird (silver and blue vehicles), Lime (green and white vehicles), and Spin (orange and black vehicles) were selected through a competitive process to operate for the 2024-2025 permit cycle. Each company has a maximum number of devices that can be deployed at any given time, with opportunities to incrementally increase that number over time.

If there are any other companies renting scooters, bicycles, or e-bikes on the street or sidewalk, please contact us at 214-670-6904 or DDOTPlanning@dallas.gov.
