Chapter 1: Regulating Shared Micromobility: 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 20: 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.

Pg 1-7: The Basics of Micromobility and Related Motorized Devices for Personal Transport

With a surge of new personal transportation devices coming to market, some integrated into shared ride systems (such as bikeshare programs), there is a need to establish a common vocabulary for these options, and provide basic information about how these devices are classified and regulated. This info brief provides an overview of powered forms of micromobility and compares features of micromobility with a spectrum of other traditional and emerging forms of transportation.

Pg 17-20: Micromobility Products-Related Deaths, Injuries, and Hazard Patterns: 2017-2019

In this report, U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff presents the latest available statistics on injury estimates, fatalities, and hazard patterns associated with three micromobility products: e-scooters (including dockless/rental e-scooters), hoverboards, and e-bikes. The timeframe covered is 2017 through 2019. For micromobility-related fatalities, staff notes that due to delays in death certificate reporting, the number of reported fatalities may change in the future.
