Eugene
The highly successful escooter pilot program that began in March of this year will end in the coming week after the announcement Friday of Superpedestrian’s shutdown

Eugene, OR – According to the city officials, Superpedestrian, which operates in 60 cities across the globe, owns the scooters and the software used to run the program.
The company cited “financial reasons” for the closure but didn’t offer details.
In Eugene, the escooter program is administered by Cascadia Mobility.
The City required Superpedestrian to work with a local organization before it was awarded a permit to place scooters on city streets.
This arrangement was unusual for Superpedestrian but proved to be pivotal to the high level of success the scooter program found in Eugene – to the tune of 220,000+ scooter rides in the first eight months of the year-long pilot program.
The PeaceHealth Rides bikeshare program, which is City-run in partnership with University of Oregon, LTD and Cascadia Mobility, provides 350 shared bikes in Eugene, with 100 more bikes and expanded service areas planned for early 2024.
