Bird Canada's Exciting E-Scooter and E-Bike Launch in Halifax

Bird Canada Expands Its Eco-Friendly Services

In an exciting development for Halifax, Bird Canada, the nation’s leading micromobility provider, has launched an impressive fleet of 300 e-scooters and 300 e-bikes. Thanks to a partnership with the Halifax Regional Municipality, residents and visitors now have an innovative and enjoyable way to navigate through the city. This launch not only marks Bird Canada’s 28th city rollout but also represents its first step into Nova Scotia.

With this initiative, Bird Canada continues its mission to transform urban transportation by providing eco-friendly options that promote sustainable travel.

“We are very enthusiastic about the arrival of Bird Canada’s e-scooter and e-bike program in Halifax,” commented Mayor Andy Fillmore. “This partnership perfectly matches HRM's goal to create an accessible and sustainable transportation network. By introducing this fleet, we aim to enhance mobility, cut down carbon emissions, and pave the way towards a healthier and greener future for our community.”

Simplifying Urban Mobility

Bird Canada aims to complement Halifax’s transportation goals by introducing a mobile solution that integrates seamlessly with existing transit systems, making last-mile travel simpler for everyone. Riders are encouraged to download the Bird app, available on iOS and Android, to easily locate and unlock vehicles. They can choose between paying per minute for their rides or picking from affordable ride passes.

For safety, all users start in beginner mode, which limits speeds to 25 km/h. The e-scooters and e-bikes are permitted on roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or lower, bike lanes, multi-use paths, and designated park areas. Importantly, riding on sidewalks is not allowed, ensuring the safety of pedestrians.

Commitment to Sustainability

Since its inception, Bird Canada has facilitated over 9 million rides, which have collectively helped eliminate nearly 4,000 metric tons of CO? emissions. This significant impact reflects the company’s commitment to providing cleaner, more efficient transportation alternatives that lessen dependence on cars.

“As a fully Canadian-owned and operated business, we are thrilled to extend our advanced micromobility services to the Halifax region. Bird is designed to make short trips more manageable, economical, and enjoyable for users,” shared Stewart Lyons, CEO of Bird Canada.

Inclusive Transportation for Everyone

Bird Canada has also forged a partnership with United Way Maritimes to enhance access to its micromobility services for communities that may need it the most. Discounted rides will be offered to low-income residents, seniors, veterans, healthcare workers, and others facing transportation challenges.

“We are delighted to collaborate with Bird Canada in providing inclusive transportation options to our neighborhoods,” stated Sara Napier, President & CEO of United Way Maritimes. “Together, we are building a more interconnected and equitable Halifax.”

This launch is more than just the arrival of new vehicles in the city; it symbolizes a move towards creating a cleaner and more connected urban environment that is prepared for the future.
