Advice Note for Local Authorities: Shared Micromobility Services
Published on
Last updated on
To coincide with the development of the new micromobility regulations, the Department has prepared an advice note for local authorities on the provision of shared micromobility services. It is intended that the note will assist local authorities who may be considering the likely consequences of this new legislation, including the integration of e-scooters within existing shared mobility service contracts and licenses and how best to leverage the changes to ensure alignment with climate-oriented goals for transport.
The aim of the note is to build a best practice approach to shared micromobility services, to bring coherence to their provision nationally and to assist local authorities in their engagement with private operators on issues such as, but not limited to, safety, data-sharing, infrastructure, parking, operations, charging and monitoring. It is expected that the contents of this document will be updated as policy develops, and as models for delivery of shared mobility services evolve in line with work being undertaken by the Department and the National Transport Authority in line with several commitments in the Climate Action Plan and the National Sustainable Mobility Policy and Action Plan.
