Pg 12-17: Shared Micromobility in the US: 2019

Comment:
This section discusses trends such as the formalization of shared micromobility in cities, challenges in dockless shared mobility parking restricting clear access, the move to make streets safer for micromobility systems, and relationships between trips and system fleet size.

Last Updated (Year): 2019

Year Produced: 2019

Abstract:

For the past four years, NACTO has compiled annual statistics on the growth and use of shared micromobility (bike share, e-bike share,
and scooter share) in the US. These numbers help create a robust picture of this nascent, vibrant, and rapidly-changing mobility option
and industry, providing cities, advocates, and companies alike with a comprehensive look at trends, challenges, and opportunities.
This year, the release of the 2019 Shared Micromobility Snapshot coincides with the world-changing COVID-19 global pandemic.
Some of the trends we saw hold steady in shared micromobility from 2010 to 2019 are changing in the first half of 2020. This 2019 Snapshot, focusing on the world as we knew it, offers lessons for where shared micromobility has been and where we might want to focus as we explore new, essential mobility options during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the post-COVID-19 world yet to come.
