This ordinance establishes regulations for the operation of dockless mobility systems. A dockless mobility system is a system of self-service mobility devices, including bicycles, motorized scooters and other micro-mobility vehicles, made available for shared use to individuals on a short-term basis, which do not require structures at permanent, fixed locations where rides must begin and end. This ordinance also prohibits the operation of electric scooters on most sidewalks.
