Using the Lime app, those interested in using a Lime e-bike or e-scooter can find a device in the service area, then use them to get around.

However, trips must start and end in the service area, according to city officials.

There are marked parking zones for the transport vehicles to help keep sidewalks clear and accessible.

If the e-bikes or e-scooters are parked improperly, riders could face fines.

To provide feedback to the city about the program, you can contact Julie Harlan by email, or fill out a feedback form online.

For issues with Lime, such as rider behavior, service problems or parking concerns, call 1-888-LIME-345.
