BOLT Mobility Continues to Expand Access, Equity, and Quality of Life Through Micromobility

Including leadership hires, integrating acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and technological advancements

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the United States continues emerging from the global coronavirus pandemic, BOLT Mobility (BOLT) has completed a series of moves to further position the company as the micromobility industry leader in providing access, equity, and quality of life through safe, sustainable, personal transportation options.

This is a critical moment for micromobility. As consumers are demanding more transportation options, and technology rapidly evolves, municipalities are seeking new solutions to provide access and reduce strain on public transportation. Micromobility has the potential to reduce pollution, mitigate congestion, foster energy independence, provide transportation to the underserved, shorten commutes, and give back people their most precious resource: their time.

That transformation has already begun -- but in order to take advantage of the opportunities it offers, we need to be smart and intentional about how we integrate micromobility into our communities. That means promoting cutting-edge technology, establishing physical and connected infrastructure, and forging partnerships that make our work effective. Those steps require action now - before it is too late.

Bolt is leading the way. Recently named the #1 best startup employer in Miami, Bolt has been successful attracting top talent, including Tyler Diaz, Chief Technology Officer, and Mitch Cohen, Chief Financial Officer, who together bring deep experience combined with a dynamism and creativity that will continue distinguishing the company’s commitment to improving communities and lives.

BOLT has also completed the integration of two recent acquisitions, Gotcha Mobility and OjO Electric, retaining key executives, and giving the company a presence in more than 50 markets across the United States, including cities, tourist destinations, college campuses, and business parks. Technology has been unified in an updated, user friendly app, and production has increased for swappable batteries.

These developments all support BOLT’s mission of delivering transportation access, at-scale, to the communities we serve.
