CommuteHub Connects with Spin to Bring Shared Micromobility into Commuter Programs

Published

on

The collaboration adds e-scooters and e-bikes to CommuteHub from RideAmigos to support first- and last-mile options, expanding the menu of choices available to commuters in public TDM programs and at large employers.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — RideAmigos, a technology company that uses innovative, behavioral science-backed solutions to empower smarter transportation choices, has partnered with Spin, one of North America’s leading shared electric scooter and e-bike platforms, to integrate e-scooters and e-bikes directly into the CommuteHub commuter experience.

“By integrating our service into CommuteHub, we’re making it easier for commuters to discover and use e-scooters and e-bikes as part of their everyday routines.”

CommuteHub users will see real-time bike and scooter availability alongside their other commute options, with direct links into the Spin app to unlock a ride. The integration will help commuters to discover shared micromobility right inside the app they already use to plan trips, reserve parking, and earn incentives, and seamlessly complete their trip within the Spin app. Spin riders will also be able to connect their accounts to CommuteHub to automatically log trips and earn incentives, making it easier than ever for commuters to track their impact and earn rewards for choosing an alternative to driving alone.

Shared micromobility is becoming an important connector for the first- and last-mile of everyday trips, particularly for commuters just outside a comfortable walking distance from a transit stop. By bringing Spin into CommuteHub, RideAmigos is giving public transportation demand management (TDM) agencies, universities, and large employers a more comprehensive toolkit to help commuters find the option that works best for each trip.

“Our mission is to empower everyone to make smarter commute choices, and that starts with helping people see the full range of options available to them,” said Victor Fani, Head of Strategic Mobility Partnerships at RideAmigos. “Many commuters may not realize that a shared scooter or e-bike could be the perfect fit for their trip — especially as a connection to transit or a ride to and from lunch. Surfacing Spin inside CommuteHub puts that option in front of them right when they’re planning their day, so they can make a more informed choice.”

“Shared micromobility works best when it’s integrated into the broader transportation ecosystem, not treated as a standalone service,” said Jimmy Gilman, Partnerships Director at Spin. “By integrating our service into CommuteHub, we’re making it easier for commuters to discover and use e-scooters and e-bikes as part of their everyday routines — whether that’s connecting to transit, getting to work from a parking hub, or replacing short car trips altogether. Partnerships like this help turn sustainable transportation into a seamless, practical option people can choose each day.”

For Spin, the integration extends the reach of their services into established commuter programs already powered CommuteHub, including state and regional TDM programs in 27 states, as well as major employers, hospitals, and universities across North America. Commuters enrolled in these programs will be able to discover and use Spinvehicles as part of the parking, trip-planning, and incentive experiences they already use.

The collaboration continues RideAmigos’ strategy of building CommuteHub into a true mobility hub through deep integrations with mobility providers, parking systems, and business platforms. Adding shared micromobility through Spin strengthens the platform’s ability to serve as a single, personalized commute experience that meets each commuter wherever they are.

A study by Duke University’s Center for Advanced Hindsight found that personalized recommendations powered by RideAmigos technology drove a 5–10% shift from driving alone to more sustainable modes of transportation. By expanding the set of modes available within those recommendations to include shared e-scooters and e-bikes, RideAmigos and its partners aim to make smarter commute choices easier for more people.
