Town of Miami Lakes
Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Edward Pidermann, Town Manager
Subject:E-Scooters
Date:3/19/2019

Recommendation:

The U.S. dockless mobility market first started in 2016 with dockless bike-sharing. Dockless bike-share quickly spread across the U.S, as it made it easier for local government agencies to provide alternative modes of transportation to their communities. Over the past few years the dockless mobility market has been shifting from bike-sharing to scooter-sharing and many companies, who first began offering bike-share are now switching to full scooter-share companies. Since 2016, the Town has worked with two bike-share companies, Spin and Lime, which have left the dockless bike-share market and are transitioning their company's focus solely on dockless scooter-sharing.

The purpose of this workshop is to inform the Town Council on how other local south Florida cities are addressing e-scooter mobility, it's safety, ways to manage e-scooter sharing programs and to discuss if the Town would like to explore a dockless e-scooter share pilot program.
