What this bond does
Secure performance of the shared-device provider's obligations under its Gastonia permit, as required by section 21-8(c). Match the legal permittee, approved security and actual permit terms.
- Who needs it
- Businesses operating Gastonia's permitted dockless shared active transportation systems, including the shared bicycles, electric-assisted bicycles and motorized scooters defined by Chapter 21. This is provider security rather than an individual rider's application.
- Who it protects
- The City receives security guaranteeing the permittee's performance of all permit obligations. These obligations include applicable device-management and public-property responsibilities. The bond does not replace the provider's separately required insurance or duty to defend and indemnify the City.

Questions about this bond
Is there one standard bond amount for every provider?
Section 21-8(c) directs the director to determine sufficient security for the permittee's obligations. Obtain the actual City determination. The code does not establish one universal amount for every fleet.
Can I increase the fleet before updating the bond?
Where the amount is based on deployed device count, the code requires revised performance security before additional devices are deployed. Confirm the City's permit and fleet conditions as well; a bond purchase does not itself authorize the increase.
