The Micromobility feature makes last-mile trip planning easier for your riders. It integrates vehicle locations and your app launcher into Google Maps. Micromobility providers can:
- Reach more riders: Link users to your app, which helps new and experienced riders discover your services.
- Provide worldwide coverage: Google Maps supports multiple languages, which helps users plan trips in their native language with a familiar system.
- Participate in the Micromobility Partner Program at no charge: Any provider that offers public Micromobility options can participate. This includes people with bikes, e-bikes, and scooters. All you have to do is integrate your vehicle availability data.
Participation requirements
To keep a high standard for user experience, the Micromobility Partner Program asks partners to meet certain requirements.
