The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County solicited proposals to operate dockless shared urban mobility devices (electric scooters and e‑bikes) within the city. The contractor will be responsible for fleet deployment, geofencing, safety compliance, 24‑hour customer support, data sharing, and coordination with local agencies, while generating revenue directly from users. Metro will not fund the operation; the contractor must pay required MTLC licensing fees and maintain extensive insurance coverage. The award may be split between up to two vendors, but the intent‑to‑award was issued to Neutron Holdings, Inc. dba Lime. The contract is a five‑year, annually renewable arrangement with a 150‑day offer validity period.
• Operate up to 2,000 scooters and 1,000 e‑bikes with geofencing and safety enforcement.
• Provide anonymized usage data to Metro and support multimodal transportation integration.
• Must cover MTLC program fees ($10,000 / yr) and per‑device fees ($141 / device / yr) and meet extensive insurance requirements.
