Micromobility devices, including e-bikes, e-scooters, and e-skateboards, are quickly joining their ‘analog’ alternatives as viable transportation and recreation options. With micromobility use only continuing to grow, including in places where these devices are technically banned, there is an urgent need to develop new, integrated design standards that safely and equitably incorporate micromobility into our existing urban fabric.
In this first session in the CAC E-micromobility in Ontario series, the City of Burlington and City of Richmond Hill will share insights into how they have approached e-micromobility planning. They’ll discuss the motivations behind their respective strategy approaches, the steps they took to implement them, and the implications of these strategies on promoting the safe, healthy, and equitable use of micromobility devices in their communities. Attendees will also gain valuable lessons and practical guidance that can inform their own.
