Danville Town Council Study Session, August 16, 2022
BAY AREA MOBILITY ON DEMAND
In April 2019,the Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA)was
awarded a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)$8 million Advanced
Transportation and Congestion Management Technologies Deployment
(ATCMTD)grant to implement the Bay Area MOD project.
CCTA’s Mobility-on-Demand (MOD)Project is the Transportation Demand
Management (TDM)element of Innovate 680 and is focused on
innovative mobility along the I-680 Corridor from Walnut Creek to San
Ramon.
FUNDING FOR MICROMOBILITY
The MOD grant covers the cost of systems engineering of micromobility
assets and their integration into the MOD app.
Funding for micromobility devices and ongoing operations and
maintenance (“O&M”)not covered in the grant.
CCTA initially conducted discussions with jurisdictions along the 1-680
Corridor to strategize on potential funding sources for micromobility
services and O&M
WHAT IS MOD?

Rewards & Incentives
Connection Protection
MOD MOBILITY ASSETS
E-bike & E-scooter share and other
micromobility devices will provide a
first-mile/last-mile solution along the I-
680 Corridor
Devices are envisioned being
available at BART stations and other
transit hubs between Walnut Creek
and San Ramon
Micromobility creates connections to
transit and large job centers
Electric bike/scooter share means
more residents in Danville, San
Ramon, and Alamo can access BART

Slow Zone No-Ride Zone
All vehicles are tracked with GPS.
When riders enter a designated
geo-zone, vehicles follow set rules.
Vehicles will slow down or
stop, and riders are notified
by a vehicle sound and an
in-app notification.
Geo-Zone Technology
Safety is our top priority.
We are committed to providing safe mobility—as
evidenced by our industry-leading safety record.
We hold ourselves to strict safety standards, and develop products and tools that protect riders and non-riders.
After 4 years and millions of rides taken
on our shared fleets, we are pleased
to report a global injury
Incidence rate of 1:50K rides,
less than half the medical incident rate of cars.
Bird’s safety focus has driven a safety record superior to cars and micromobility competition.
1.Global documented incident rate of 0.002%, roughly 1:50K rides 11
Documented Medical Incident Rate 1,2
1.Injury incidence rate calculated as the percentage of total trips with incidents or accidents reported which required medical treatment. Documented injury rates for bicycles, automobiles, and motorcycles reflect national averages, whereas Bird’s documented injury rate (1:50K) reflects Bird’s global average incidence rate.2.Sources include: Bird internal ride data, The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and The U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics
