Lime Opens Military’s First Dock-Free Bikeshare On Naval Base San Diego

The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces serve our nation honorably every day. Now, Lime is proud to be the first dock-free bikeshare program to serve them.Beginning today at 6:00 am local time, Lime will be launching 200 of our smart pedal bikes on Naval Base San Diego.naval-base-san-diego-bikeshare-1The 1,600-acre base consists of approximately 50 ships and 34,000 military and non-military personnel, making it the principal homeport of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Needless to say, reliable transportation is an important part of daily operations here.To accomodate, key members of our local team have already undergone rigorous background checks to be granted base clearance, enabling us to keep our fleet rebalanced and operating at peak performance.We’ve also worked alongside the U.S. Navy to identify high-traffic zones where bike deployment will offer the greatest benefit to sailors, officers and civilians. These areas include housing and the Navy Exchange (NEX).“The Navy has deep roots in San Diego,” says Zack Bartlett, Lime’s Regional General Manager. “We’re thrilled to be offering a program that will allow our servicemen and women an easier and smarter way to get around the base.”naval-base-san-diego-bikeshare-2To celebrate the launch and its proximity to Bike to Work Day, we’re offering $5 in free Lime credits using the code LIME2WORK. We’ll also be running several helmet giveaways to help keep Lime riders moving safely throughout Naval Base San Diego.We look forward to providing clean, affordable mobility to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, and thank all current and former servicemen and women for your service to our country!
