Populus and Dott Team Up to Bring Mobility Management to the United Kingdom
Together, the companies will be delivering Populus Mobility Manager, which empowers cities to efficiently manage shared mobility services, to the Nottingham City Council.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - 4 March, 2025 — Populus, the global-leader for cities to manage transportation and mobility services, today announced a new partnership with Dott, to provide its robust mobility management platform to manage e-scooters in Nottingham. Nottingham City Council joins more than 100 cities around the world leveraging the Populus platform to securely receive data from shared mobility operators and to digitally manage mobility and street regulations.
Through this new partnership, Populus will receive real-time data from Dott’s shared e-scooter fleet through a standardized format. As dockless scooters and bike fleets continue to grow, cities are seeking proactive tools to maintain order and enhance road safety. By working collaboratively with the public sector and mobility operators, Populus delivers essential insights to cities on how people’s transportation choices and travel patterns are changing.
Under the agreement, Populus will provide its first City in the United Kingdom with access to its secure Mobility Manager platform to optimize the city’s transportation networks - reducing traffic congestion, improving road safety, and supporting the transition from a car-centric lifestyle. Nottingham will gain the ability to validate operator data, monitor real-time vehicle movements, create, communicate, and track compliance with policies, and analyze how and where electric scooters are being used. The city will also be able to evaluate program performance across multiple metrics, including vehicle utilization, fleet distribution, and accessibility, and leverage trip data to inform infrastructure investment decisions such as bike lanes.
“We are honored to work with Nottingham to make urban mobility more efficient, sustainable, and safe,” said Regina Clewlow, CEO and Co-Founder of Populus. “Our team is committed to helping cities and shared mobility operators partner together to deliver solutions for the future of transportation and we are proud to continue our impact, empowering European cities to harness the potential of data and technology for the benefit of their community members.”
