🤖 AI-generated city profile, summarising the source-checked entries below — how this works

Denver's e-scooter and e-bike scene began as an unregulated dockless free-for-all in 2018 and was rebuilt in 2021 into a data-sharing, permit-based program under the Mobility Data Specification. Riders have logged more than 26 million trips since, and in 2026 the city moved from competing Lime and Bird fleets to a single operator, Veo, to simplify the rider app and city oversight in one move.
