Comment:
Transit agencies engage with micromobility providers in a variety of ways, ranging from direct subsidy of operation to informal relationships in which agencies and private operators collaborate without any exchange of funds or risk. As the micromobility marketplace continues to take shape, new types of collaboration between cities, transit agencies, and private operators are emerging to align mobility goals, sensibly regulate, and more effectively provide transit access. This chapter provides summaries of how transit agencies of various types are working to ensure desired policy outcomes in partnerships throughout this spectrum.

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.
