Windsor, Ontario, is preparing for the return of Bird Canada’s e-scooters and e-bikes, as confirmed by Mayor Drew Dilkens. The city approved a new deal with Bird Canada, which will see the same number of e-scooters but an increased number of e-bikes. To maintain order, designated parking areas will be established, requiring users to park their devices in specific spots and upload a photo to the app to complete their ride. This system will utilize geofencing technology to ensure compliance. The city had previously paused the rental service after the agreement with Bird Canada expired on April 21, 2023, due to concerns that needed addressing. Bird Canada has been a part of Windsor's transportation network for five years, initially launching its services along the Riverfront Pathway and expanding to various city locations, deploying 450 e-scooters and 100 e-bikes in March 2023.
