Project Description
Shared Micromobility
City of Cleveland, Mayor's Office of Sustainability
Smart City Project Overview
The City established a permitting process for shared mobility vendors so there would be regulations in place to make dockless scooters and e-bikes as safe and useful as possible for residents. Since about a quarter of Clevelanders don't have access to a personal vehicle, scooters and bikes could be a helpful transportation option. The companies on the street now have a permit for a six-month demonstration period. The purpose of the demonstration period is to ensure safety and evaluate impacts of shared mobility use.
