Our Values


NABSA collaborates across sectors to grow shared micromobility and its benefits to communities, creating a more equitable and sustainable transportation ecosystem. NABSA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing resources, education, and advocacy for the shared micromobility industry, and to creating spaces for the industry’s public, private, and nonprofit sectors to convene and empower each other.

NABSA has five core values that guide NABSA, our members, and the shared micromobility industry. Our core values are woven into NABSA’s priorities and the work we do on behalf of the industry. At NABSA, we value the following:

Safety


Safety is prioritized every step of the way, from vehicles and workplaces to the communities and environments being served.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB)


Through learning, listening, and growing, we strive to make shared micromobility more available to all who need it, to cultivate an environment of support in our industry, and to foster a deep sense of community where diversity is valued and celebrated.

Integrity


We take time to build relationships and operate with trust and respect for community partners, riders, and industry colleagues.

Health


We advance shared micromobility as a tool to help build healthier communities for those who reside in them.

Sustainability


We prioritize stewardship of the planet and the continued innovation of shared micromobility to advance sustainable transportation, communities, and industry practices.
