Lime Access: Ride Green. Save Green.
Communities thrive when people are connected. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing sustainable transportation to all, regardless of age, background, income or ability.
Lime Access is our industry-leading affordability program that provides discounted rides to those who qualify. Lime was the first to introduce discounted e-bike and e-scooter rides, starting in 2018, with a goal of breaking down barriers to sustainable transportation to more communities.
To date, we have served over 1,834,057 trips on Lime Access.
Through our Lime Access program, we are working to make sure everyone in the cities we serve have access to affordable and sustainable transportation. Sometimes, getting around can be expensive, and Lime is working to be a solution to the problem.
