Austin Community College District (ACC) has partnered with Lime to offer all eligible current employees and students a 50% discount on Lime electric bikes and scooters across Austin.

Whether you are looking to shorten your campus commute, connect with public transit, or run quick errands, this option is designed to make getting around town more affordable, flexible, and eco-friendly.

“Reliable transportation is a basic need, especially for students and employees who don’t own a vehicle. While public transit is a vital resource, routes don’t always drop students right at the classroom door. Partnering with Lime allows us to bridge that last-mile gap with deep discounts, giving busy ACC students and employees a fast, affordable way to commute to campus—especially when running late for class or facing a long uphill walk,” said Andy Kim, Director of Energy & Sustainability at ACC.

“By offering 50% off rides for people using an ACC email address, we hope to help remove one barrier to getting to class, getting to work, connecting to transit, and moving around Austin more easily. This program is about giving the ACC community a practical, reliable, and more sustainable transportation option that can better support success both on and off campus,” said Lonny Stern, Senior Regional Lead of Government Relations for Texas at Lime. 

Key Details & Program Benefits

The program applies to Lime rides throughout the city of Austin. Pair it with ACC’s Green Pass, and your travel options expand dramatically.

To claim the 50% discount, eligible riders must create or log in to a Lime account using a valid ACC email address. The discount will then automatically apply to eligible rides.

Getting started takes just a few steps:

  1. Download or Open Lime: Open the Lime app on your mobile device.
  2. Use Your ACC Email: Log in or create a new Lime account using your official @austincc.edu email address.
  3. Ride: Once verified, your 50% discount will automatically apply to eligible rides on both the unlock fee and the ride cost.
  4. The 50% discount applies to each Lime ride in Austin, but it doesn’t apply to LimePrime or LimePass.

Riders are encouraged to park their scooters responsibly, such as in designated bike rack areas.
