Mobi for Developments

To aid the City of Vancouver's progress towards its Climate Emergency Action Plan goal of achieving a 2030 target where two-thirds of daily trips are made via active transportation and transit, and to align with TransLink's Transport 2050 objectives, which include boosting active transportation and transit usage, alleviating congestion, and cutting greenhouse gas emissions, developers can contribute by offering improved options for bike share accessibility to and from their developments. 

This initiative delivers benefits to residents, commercial occupants, employees, the developer, and the wider region.

WHAT IS MOBI FOR DEVELOPMENTS?

The Mobi for Developments program allows developers to make a one-time bulk payment to Mobi to satisfy municipal Transportation Demand Management (TDM) requirements, while allowing stratas and/or property managers to facilitate the distribution of the bikeshare benefits to occupants.

The program provides developments with exclusive access to Mobi's Ebike Inclusive Pass.

FAQ

How many years does an Ebike Inclusive Pass purchase cover?
For each Ebike Inclusive Pass that your organization purchases through the TDM program, you will receive one unique promo code that is valid for one year of the Ebike Inclusive Pass. This means that a tenant who uses a promo code that you give them will receive one free annual Ebike  Inclusive Pass. Each promo code only covers a single year of the annual Ebike Inclusive Pass.
Does a tenant's pass renew for free with the promo code?
No, a tenant's pass will not renew for free using the promo code you've provided them. The tenant will not be charged for their first year with the pass, since your organization has paid for that pass and you have provided them with a promo code for 100% off a one-year annual pass. If you would like to provide your tenants with additional years of free bike share, you will need to provide them with new promo codes to be applied to their renewal.
A tenant just moved out of the building. Can we cancel their pass and get a refund?
No, you are not able to cancel their pass and receive a refund. Once a tenant has received a promo code and activated their pass we are not able to refund that pass. Because that pass has already been activated by one individual, we are not able to transfer the pass to another tenant. You will need to use a new promo code for the next tenant.
Can the promo codes be used at any of the buildings we built?
If you’re purchasing passes for multiple properties, we recommend deciding how many passes you’d like allocated to each property based on the estimated occupancy numbers. We will provide you with a worksheet that has a tab for each property and has unique promo codes to be shared with the property manager of that specific property.
Do you have other pass options that we can purchase?
We offer a separate Corporate Program that provides an additional pass option, but does not have access to the ebike inclusive pass.
