About NABSA
The North American Bikeshare & Scootershare Association (NABSA) collaborates across sectors to grow shared micromobility and its benefits to communities, creating a more equitable and sustainable transportation ecosystem. NABSA is the industry’s membership organization with representation from system owners, operators, host cities, equipment manufacturers, and technology and service providers.
Founded in 2014, NABSA is a 501(c)(3) 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.
About Shared Micromobility
Shared Micromobility has proven to be an affordable, efficient, healthy, and sustainable form of public transportation used mostly for short trips; it is a tool that can be leveraged to build more equitable, environmentally sustainable, resilient transportation ecosystems. Communities big and small adopt shared micromobility to provide low-cost transportation, reduce transportation-related emissions, improve air quality, reduce traffic congestion, stimulate economic development, provide an accessible means for physical activity, and increase access to public transit by completing transit networks and resolving the ‘first and last mile’ problem. Shared micromobility systems are currently operating in at least 401 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
NABSA produces the annual Shared Micromobility State of the Industry Report, the first report capturing in-depth metrics and trends about shared micromobility across North America.
Core Values
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 Safety, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Integrity, Health, and Sustainability.
