Bird Scooters to leave Leavenworth

August 15, 2022
 

Bird Scooters notified the City of Leavenworth of its plans to end the pilot program in the First City. This unique method of micro-transit that required no City funds was approved by the City Commission in April. Ridership levels were initially high with over 4,000 rides taken by July 5. However, ridership dropped in July and did not return to previous levels.

Bird Scooters thanked the City for its partnership and expressed hope for partnering again at a later date. Leavenworth was one of several cities in the region receiving notification from Bird. September 9 will be the last day Bird Scooters will be available in Leavenworth.
