Chapter 7: Current State of Practice: Guidelines for Regulating Shared Micromobility

Developed for cities, by cities, this guidance outlines best practices for cities and public entities regulating and managing shared micromobility services on their streets. While many of the issues covered are applicable to all forms of shared micromobility, this document is explicitly meant to help cities establish guidelines for formal management of public-use mobility options that are not managed through traditional procurement processes (the management mechanism for most docked bike share programs in North America).

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

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.

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.
