Bird Global, Inc. (NYSE:BRDS), a leader in environmentally
friendly electric transportation, is excited to announce a
strategic partnership with the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing
Authority (CMHA) to enhance mobility options and ensure affordable
access to transportation for residents in Cleveland.
This partnership aims to address transportation challenges faced
by individuals residing in affordable housing developments,
providing them with convenient and affordable access to various
destinations throughout the region.
Bird will work closely with CMHA to implement programs and
initiatives that benefit residents, including the introduction of
affordable pricing structures tailored to meet the needs of
individuals living in CMHA properties. Additionally, Bird will
deploy a fleet of electric scooters strategically throughout the
region, promoting seamless connectivity and environmentally
friendly travel options.
By providing affordable rates, Bird aims to create a more
equitable transportation system, enabling residents to access
educational, recreational, and employment opportunities while
improving their overall quality of life.
"We are thrilled to partner with the Cuyahoga Metropolitan
Housing Authority to provide affordable rates and convenient
mobility options for residents of affordable housing developments,"
said Stewart Lyons, President at Bird Global. "Through this
collaboration, we can address transportation challenges for those
who need it most, while enhancing access to essential services to
foster a more connected and sustainable Cleveland."
Bird will actively engage with CMHA and its residents to gather
feedback and insights, ensuring that their transportation needs are
effectively met. Through ongoing collaboration, Bird and CMHA will
identify additional opportunities to enhance mobility
infrastructure and develop programs that cater to the unique
requirements of the community.
“As the author of the shared mobility device legislation in
Cleveland, I firmly believe in the widespread benefits of
non-vehicular transportation options in Cleveland and around the
Country. I applaud Bird for going above and beyond to ensure that
ALL of our residents have access to alternative forms of
transportation, especially those who have been historically
disconnected. This partnership will mean that more of our residents
will be able to access their day to day needs and will have the
opportunity to increase their quality of life,” said Councilman
Kerry McCormack of Cleveland’s 3rd Ward.
The partnership between Bird and CMHA aligns with Bird's mission
to provide affordable and sustainable transportation solutions that
positively impact cities and communities. By offering accessible
options and affordable rates to individuals in affordable housing
developments, Bird and CMHA strive to create a more inclusive and
connected Cuyahoga County.
