Micromobility

Stories about personal mobility devices driven by individual users, including electric scooters (e-scooters) and bicycles (e-bikes). Includes coverage of micromobility policies, particularly around user data collection and use, and how these devices work to complement transit systems and contribute to the vitality of communities.

In choosing its 14th cohort of seven companies, the New York-based urban tech accelerator is focused on advancing the use of electrified mobility, and two-wheeled transportation.
More than 160 e-bike purchase incentive programs currently exist in the United States and Canada. An author of a report on their effectiveness says cities and organizations may have better results if they put goals ahead of design.
Speakers Thursday at a webinar organized by the North American Bikeshare and Scootershare Association (NABSA) discussed how micromobility, including bike-share systems and e-bikes, is becoming part of larger transportation ecosystems — and securing public funding.
The city will contract with San Francisco-based micromobility firm Spin for as many as 100 e-scooters and 50 e-bicycles. The devices are already available on the Washington State University campus in Pullman.
RIDE On Demand, a new shared on-demand transit service in Middlesex County, N.J., aims to give riders in the county seat more transit options and reduce traffic congestion. It arrives Tuesday through technology provider Via.
Austin plans to fully electrify its bike-share fleet, in addition to increasing the number of bikes and docking stations. This is in line with other cities and the broader trend of electrifying bicycle fleets.
Artificial intelligence and other technology common to modern transportation systems are finding their way into bikes, scooters and other micromobility devices.
Princeton University officials made almost the entire campus a "restricted zone" where e-scooters and e-bikes are not allowed, due to concerns about safety and a lack of compliance with a previous "peak hours" policy.
Three cities in the Phoenix metro area are experimenting with on-demand microtransit offerings, both connecting to more traditional transit options and stepping in where none exists.
As cities work to get more electric vehicles and micromobility options like e-bikes onto streets, they're also putting livability and equity at the center of how technology can improve the urban experience.
