Putting safety at the heart of micromobility.
Bolt Safety Lab
Transparency on safety and partnerships with cities
Because safety-related research on micromobility is still limited, transparency around operator data is critical to supporting cities in making informed decisions around the future of their transportation systems.
Bolt is committed to working in partnership with cities to implement safe micromobility through open dialogue about critical safety issues and how to address them.
From our Scooter Safety Toolkit to our drunk riding prevention and tandem riding prevention features, data and research are essential to developing new tools that keep riders and other road users as safe as possible. Through Bolt Safety Lab, we are excited to share our insights with cities and to support their development of safe, sustainable micromobility solutions.
