Shared bikes and scooters – like those provided by Lime – are a growing part of the transportation ecosystem in the communities Sound Transit serves. They offer a convenient way to connect to Link light rail. Yet, misplaced vehicles can obstruct pathways for pedestrians and passengers with limited mobility.
To improve safety and the passenger experience, Sound Transit partnered with Lime, King County Metro, and the Seattle Department of Transportation to expand our Bike & Scoot to Transit promotion in Seattle. Riders can earn points by taking a shared bike or scooter to a station and parking in designated spots, keeping station areas clear of obstructions.
How it works:
- Connect your accounts: Download the Lime and Transit GO Ticketing apps, sign up for Rewards, and connect your Lime account. When you connect, you’ll instantly earn 300 points.
- Take a qualifying trip: Each time you ride a Lime scooter or bike and park it at a preferred parking spot, you will automatically earn 300 points – enough for a ticket on Link light rail! Note that you must redeem points within 24 hours.
- Participate in surveys: After completing a qualifying trip, you will receive an invite for a survey about your experience. This feedback helps improve the program and you’ll earn more points for taking the survey.
Preferred parking spots are available at eligible Link light rail stations within Seattle including Northgate, Roosevelt, U-District, University of Washington, Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, International District, Stadium, SODO, Beacon Hill, Mount Baker, Columbia City, Othello and Rainier Beach. Scooters and bikes parked outside these preferred parking spots will not qualify for rewards.
