Micro-Mobility’s Role• Building density increasing

• Student Survey
• Regional approach with cities
• No RFP
Do scooters address the mobility gap like bikes?

~65 injuriesreported by Health Center
Lessons Learned Blocking accessible pathways
Educate riding on roads Educate parking out of pathways
Safety Educate / Enforce traffic laws Continue helmet hand-outs Promote safe behavior through app & via departments Consider infrastructure improvements (ex. scooter
sharrows?)
Messy Parking Designate parking areas at popular destinations Incentivize neat parking
Fall 2019 Next Steps
Focus on maintenance measures Look for revenue share Consider longer pilot Continue to seek regional approach Would bikes complicate the service?
Should you consider scooters?
Depends…•Be Prepared for how to react if a local city brings them
•Would they support your transportation network?
•Would the benefits outweigh the controversy?
•Are scooters an imperfect beginning to an inevitable
trend in mobility?
