Ride Report product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Ride Report provides a SaaS-based shared mobility management platform that ingests micromobility operator data via the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) and delivers cities real-time vehicle monitoring, policy and compliance tools, automated operator alerts and reports, dynamic fee calculation and invoicing, and a private operator dashboard. The company also publishes the Global Micromobility Index, a public-facing cross-city data repository, and offers a premium tier of data-based audits, fee reconciliation, performance-based vehicle caps, and program evaluation services.
Product overview
Ride Report is a unified platform-plus-modules architecture for shared mobility management, anchored by the Ride Report Platform (core dashboard) and extended through a portfolio of named modules and sub-offerings. The core platform delivers Alerts & Operator Reports, Privacy-Preserving Data Processing, and Real-Time Vehicle Monitoring; layered on top are the Analyze Tab, the Report Feature (daily/weekly/monthly compliance views), the Explore Feature (hex-grid trip visualization), the Curb Events Tool, and Dynamic Fee Tracking & Operator Invoicing. A separate Operator Dashboard mirrors the agency view for micromobility operators, while a premium Operator Audit Reports tier powers the "Ride Report Certified" program. The Policy API (Ride Report's own API offering, built on the MDS standard) allows agencies to publish GeoJSON-based rules. Public-facing data is delivered through the Global Micromobility Index / Open Data Portal at public.ridereport.com, with per-city Micromobility Dashboards and the Ride App (a consumer e-bike app) extending reach to individual riders. The platform ingests operator data from Bird, Lime, Bolt, Lynx, Bird Canada, and others via the MDS Provider API and GBFS, and is now part of the INRIX ecosystem.

Ride Report competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- StreetLight Data: StreetLight Data provides mobility analytics from big data (mobile, GPS, sensors) for state DOTs, MPOs, and cities. It competes with Ride Report's Global Micromobility Index by offering multimodal trip analytics, though without the operator-direct MDS feed integration.
- Populus: Populus is a mobility data platform that helps cities manage shared mobility, parking, and curb policy through operator data integrations. It is the closest direct competitor to Ride Report, addressing the same city, regional, and operator customer base with MDS-aligned tools.
Emerging players
- Optibus: Optibus provides AI-driven transit operations and planning software for public transit agencies. It addresses adjacent public-agency transportation planning use cases and shares the same municipal and transit authority buyer persona as Ride Report.
- Swiftly: Swiftly provides transit data platform and analytics tools for public transit agencies, with a focus on real-time passenger information and operations. It competes for a portion of the same public-agency transportation technology wallet that Ride Report targets.
Broad incumbents
- INRIX: INRIX is Ride Report's parent ecosystem and a leading provider of transportation intelligence, traffic, and parking analytics. INRIX overlaps with Ride Report in serving public agencies and has now integrated Ride Report's micromobility capabilities into its broader platform.
- Via Transportation: Via acquired Remix, a transit and mobility planning platform used by cities for route planning and modal analysis. Via competes with Ride Report in the public-agency transportation planning space, though with a much broader transit and paratransit focus.
- Geotab: Geotab is a large fleet telematics and transportation data provider with broad public-sector and private-fleet deployments. While not a micromobility specialist, it competes for city transportation intelligence budgets and overlaps in fleet/vehicle monitoring use cases.
- Passport: Passport provides mobility and parking payment platforms for cities and operators, including permit, enforcement, and curbside management. It overlaps with Ride Report in the city transportation technology stack and shares public-agency customers.
Others
- Lime: Lime is one of Ride Report's largest integrated operator partners and also develops its own city-facing data dashboards and analytics for municipal customers. It is a customer/integrator of Ride Report, not a direct competitor, but its in-house data capabilities represent an adjacent offering.
- Bolt: Bolt is a global micromobility and ride-hail operator integrated with Ride Report via MDS. Like Lime, it has its own data products for cities and represents a partner-cum-adjacent player in the mobility data ecosystem.

Does Ride Report have an API?
Yes. Ride Report's core product is built around the Mobility Data Specification (MDS), a framework of APIs (Provider, Agency, and Policy) that agencies and micromobility operators use to exchange data in a standard format. The MDS Provider API enables regulators to query historical information on trips and vehicle status; the Agency API captures events such as trip starts for real-time monitoring; the Policy API allows regulatory agencies to publish clearly-defined rules (GeoJSON-based) that mobility operators must follow. Ride Report is "currently testing" its own Policy API ("We are currently testing our Policy API and encourage cities to reach out if you are interested in learning more") and exposes alerts, operator reports, fee/invoicing, and reporting features for partner integrations. MDS is managed by the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) and the underlying standard is open-source on GitHub. GBFS (General Bikeshare Feed Specification) is required as part of MDS and is used to make bikeshare information publicly available. Developer documentation is at github.com/openmobilityfoundation/mobility-data-specification.
