Shared Mobility
Affordable “first mile/last mile” transportation.
New Haven’s shared mobility network provides convenient transportation choices that help residents and visitors travel throughout the city without a car.
Veo E-Scooters
The City’s shared e-scooter program, introduced in May 2025, helps connect people to transit, jobs, schools, shopping, and neighborhood destinations. Reduced-cost programs are available for eligible riders, helping expand access to affordable transportation throughout the city. Scooters operate within a hub-based system, with designated parking locations near where people live, work, and travel. These hubs help keep sidewalks organized while providing convenient access to shared mobility.
New Haven currently offers Veo electric scooters downtown and is expanding service into Fair Haven and Beaver Hills. This expansion will improve access to affordable transportation options while supporting safer, organized parking through a hub-based system.
Riding Safely and Reporting Smartly
There are just three easy rules for riding:
- One rider per scooter
- Ride vehicles predictabley by following the rules of the road
- Park scooters at designate hubs located around the City
To report a scooter issue, take a photo of the scooter or issue, note the frame or vehicle ID, provide the location, and briefly describe the issue. Reports are sent directly to Veo’s operations team, allowing them to respond quickly by relocating scooters or addressing safety concerns.

Ride NHV
Ride NHV is New Haven’s public bikeshare system, offering e-bikes and cargo bikes for convenient, affordable trips throughout the city. Whether commuting, connecting to transit, running errands, or exploring New Haven, Ride NHV provides a flexible transportation option for residents and visitors. Many Ride NHV stations are located near major destinations, commercial districts, parks, and transit routes, making it easy to combine biking with other travel options.
As part of this expansion phase, the City is also growing the Ride New Haven (RideNHV) initiative, with new hubs with select locations serving as shared mobility hubs for both scooter and bikeshare users. These sites include bike parking corrals and improve the organization of the public right-of-way. Existing RideNHV locations, along key corridors like Grand Avenue, will be incorporated into the expanded system, supporting seamless connections between different shared mobility options.
