Spin Shared Mobility Program


A logo with SPIN in all caps

In partnership with Texas State University, the City of San Marcos will deploy a dockless bike and scooter share program in response to restrictions of the public transit systems. The shared mobility program will give the community members an additional option for transportation. 

To ride, community members will need to download the spin app titles "Spin - Electric Scooters" in the App Store or the Google Play store.
