The City of Gastonia permits providers to deploy shared mobility devices — dockless scooters and e-bikes — on its streets, sidewalks, and other public right-of-way. As a condition of that permit, the City can require a surety bond from the provider. The bond is a right-of-way protection guarantee: it backs the City's cost of removing, relocating, or impounding devices that are abandoned, improperly parked, or left blocking the public way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you the provider (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Gastonia (the obligee). If the City has to clear your devices from the right-of-way or you fail to meet your permit obligations, the City can recover its costs against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Providers who manage their fleet and keep the right-of-way clear treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the City set, at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Gastonia set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
