A note on COVID-19:
In the face of COVID-19, the way people travel has seen various changes. The pandemic will have long-term impacts on transportation choices that governmental agencies and policy makers will need to navigate carefully. Most cities have resumed micromobility services, and some launched new BikeShare programs within the past year. The following resources will continue to be helpful when considering the safety of shared bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters as a mobility option.

Incorporating micromobility in a city comes with a set of policies that regulate both the vendors and users of micromobility vehicles. The following is a list of micromoblity policies by city in the form of municipal codes, pilot program statues, and permit programs ordinances. Note that this section is continuously being updated and does not reflect a complete listing.
Do you know of a micromobility policy we can add to the list? Please let us know at safetrec@berkeley.edu.
