Safety of Micromobility: Regulations, Data and Stakeholders
The goal of this research is to provide general guidance and relevant information to improve safety for micromobility riders, particularly on e-bikes, and e-scooters. The objectives include: identifying regulatory and data gaps, quantifying injury patterns, mapping policies across states and gathering stakeholder priorities. This work emphasizes the need for regulation alignment among federal, state and local ordinances and establishing data sharing standards to prevent riders’ injuries, expand access and adopt scaled educational programs for the safer operation of micromobility devices.
