Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano wrote the following op-ed, which was sent to us by Bird, the scooter company that has the exclusive franchise in New York City’s border city. We present it not to champion Bird, but to give a legit perspective on how one decent-sized city benefitted from e-scooter-share programs. New York City’s Department of Transportation is currently deciding which scooter company including Bird, Link, Voi, Lime, Spin will create pilot programs outside of Manhattan. As such, Spano’s perspective is invaluable.
