The City of Trenton, Michigan has teamed up with Bird to bring shared electric scooters to the city. Approximately 50 e-scooters have been placed throughout the community for residents and visitors to use, accessible through Bird’s mobile app. Bird will offer community pricing, which includes a 50% discount to low-income riders, Pell grant recipients, local nonprofits and community organizations, veterans, and senior citizens.
