We've invested in our street team which is made up of ex urban planters from the beginning. We're talking to some cities now about eventually rolling that out, a very sort of interesting circular economy idea.

And the winning design actually took recycled car tires and used them to form a protected inta structure divideor in a really scaleable way. There's also a lot to be done there. The bidan administration has publicly said that they want to have half a million ev charging stationsout for cars. They think micro mobility charging should also be part of that conversation.
