Riders who park Lime bikes or scooters at one of 14 designated Link light rail stations can earn free trips on the region’s transit systems.
A new initiative from the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will reward shared bike and scooter riders with free transit trips, according to an article in Mass Transit. The program applies to riders who park in designated areas at any of the 14 Link light rail stations.
“Riders will earn enough points to cover their transit trip by parking a Lime bike or scooter in preferred parking spots near the light-rail stations and taking their next transit ride within 24 hours.” SDOT installed additional bike parking at the stations to accommodate more riders.
Riders can use their points on Sound Transit Link light-rail and Express bus service, King County Metro buses, the Seattle Streetcar, Kitsap Transit bus service and King County Water Taxi.
The program is funded via the voter-approved Seattle Transit Measure.
