A July report from the National Association of City Transportation Officials found that shared dockless electric scooter use in the U.S. increased 15% last year compared with 2022. But the 65 million trips recorded in 2023 were below 2019's peak of 86 million trips.
Riders can rent and pay through the Lyft app in cities where Bird scooters are available, and unlock the scooter on the app by scanning a QR code on the vehicle.
“We continue to explore new ways to integrate with like-minded urban transportation solutions like Lyft, as our ultimate goal is to make navigating a city on intermodal transportation as easy as using a personal car,” Stewart Lyons, co-CEO of both Bird and Spin brands, said in a statement.
“By working with Bird, we can expand access to scooters and serve more people in more parts of the U.S. through the Lyft app,” said Michael Breus, head of bike and scooter operations at Lyft.
Bird scooters are available on the Lyft app in the following cities:
- Tempe, Arizona
- Sacramento and South Lake Tahoe, California
- Gainesville, Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida.
- Idaho Falls, Idaho
- Bloomington and Indianapolis, Indiana
- Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky.
- Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri
- Reno, Nevada
- Charlotte, North Carolina

The companies said more cities will be added in the coming weeks. Lyft offers bike and scooter rides in more than 50 cities around the world.
