WEST SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG)

West Sacramentans will see shared bikes and scooters back on local streets beginning Saturday, August 29th, starting out with 100 scooters and 25 bikes, with bikes also scaling up to 100 over the course of a week.

Lime--the global leader in micro mobility-- relaunched JUMP bikes in the SACOG region on Saturday, August 29th, restoring a beloved option to residents looking for safe, sustainable and socially distanced transportation options. Through an agreement with SACOG, Lime will take over as the exclusive regional bikeshare operator for the region. Sacramento and West Sacramento are the fifth relaunch of JUMP bikes in the U.S. following Lime’s acquisition of the JUMP brand in May, with several others anticipated in the coming months. Lime will launch 200 bikes immediately across the two cities and ramp up to 600 bikes based on rider demand.

“Welcome back to one of our urban core’s most popular transportation innovations,” said West Sacramento Mayor Christopher Cabaldon. “More and more of our residents and visitors are getting around now on foot or by pedal, and scooters and bikeshare are key part of that climate-friendly micro mobility portfolio. With fewer cars on the road and more folks out walking and biking than ever, there has never been a safer time for scooter and bikeshare on West Sacramento streets. Lime’s service area will include all of West Sacramento and we will be working with them to increase the number of bikes and scooters in the city to ensure micro mobility is an option for everyone who wants to use it.”
