Former SDOT chief Scott Kubly joins LimeBike | GeekWire

Under Kubly's leadership, the city bailed out Pronto the bike-sharing service for $1.4 million when the service became insolvent due to fewer member sign-ups than expected.

LimeBike has a new executive: Scott Kubly, the former Seattle official who oversaw the biggest transportation levy in city history, the municipal purchase of the now-defunct Pronto cycle service, and the launch of dockless bike-sharing services in the city.
