Bird Canada Chosen by Société du parc Jean-Drapeau for Exclusive E-Scooter Deployment in Summer 2023
The Canadian company will deploy 200 e-scooters for the visitors of the Notre-Dame and Sainte-Hélène islands.
Montrealers will be able to ride on the park's bike paths from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. with this safe, sustainable, convenient, and fun type of transportation. Bird
This project is part of an initiative by the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau to offer a sustainable mobility option to users in order to reduce car use on the Notre-Dame and Sainte-Hélène islands in
“We are pleased to have been selected as the exclusive operator to deploy e-scooters on the territory of Société du parc Jean-Drapeau this summer. Montrealers have been looking forward to riding e-scooters again. Bird
Cutting-edge Technology
The e-scooters deployed will be equipped with a GPS tracking system to ensure that they remain within the boundaries of Parc Jean-Drapeau, to establish low-speed zones and to ensure compliance with parking regulations. Thanks to the Bird Canada app, it will only be possible to end an e-scooter trip in a designated parking area.
Helmets are mandatory for all riders at the Parc Jean-Drapeau. To start a ride, riders will have to take a selfie via the Bird app, which will detect in real time whether the user is wearing a helmet. Each scooter will be equipped with a helmet cleaned frequently by the Bird team, and riders may also choose to wear their own helmet
To report a problem, both riders and park visitors are invited to contact the Bird team at 311_parcjeandrapeau@birdcanada.co or via the app’s "community" mode. Additional information is also available on the Bird app.
