Dozens of new e-scooters will soon line Santa Clara streets in an eco-friendly move aimed at contributing to a greener and more sustainable city through alternative transit options.
E-scooter vendor Veo, based in Santa Monica, received an operating permit to deploy 300 of its scooters this fall as part of the city’s. It will follow the Miami-based Bird, which received a permit in August to distribute 800 e-scooters and 200 e-bikes around the city.
Veo’s scooters will be phased in over the next few weeks, according to Michelle Templeton, acting director of communications for the city. The dockless scooters will be placed around the city where the company anticipates the highest demand, Templeton said. “The city has many efforts underway to create a more sustainable Santa Clara,” Templeton said. “Increasing access to clean mobility and alternative modes of transportation provides a sustainable way for community members and visitors to get around, reduces greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change and supports reduction in traffic congestion.”
To celebrate the program’s launch, Veo is offering riders a $5 credit that can be redeemed on the app until the end of November, the company said.
