Comment:
When regulating micromobility vehicles, agencies incorporate equity requirements to promote geographic distribution within the jurisdiction. This is done to make vehicles accessible to people of all income levels as well as those who are unbanked, underbanked, or do not have smartphones. Operators are typically required to submit an equity plan.

Abstract:

Micromobility refers to small, low-speed vehicles intended for personal use and includes station-based bikeshare systems, dockless bikeshare systems, electric-assist bikeshare, and electric scooters. Micromobility has the potential to increase the number of transit trips by expanding the reach of multimodal transportation, but it also could replace transit trips.
The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's TCRP Research Report 230: Transit and Micromobility provides an analysis of the full benefits and impacts of micromobility on public transportation systems in transit-rich markets as well as in medium-sized and smaller urban areas.
