This session will explore lessons from Canadian municipalities that have planned or implemented shared micromobility services such as bikeshare and e-scooters.
Ezra Lipton and Kate Whitfield, responsible for the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) report Shared Micromobility Services in Canadian Communities, will share key insights and practical guidance from their research about how micromobility can enhance transportation efficiency, equity, and sustainability, while also addressing regulatory and operational challenges.
Key themes include:
- How shared micromobility expands access to sustainable travel by connecting with transit or replacing car trips.
- The feasibility of shared micromobility systems for cities of all sizes.
- How municipal approaches shape system design, community impact, and long-term success.
- The importance of planning safe, complete micromobility networks that serve all residents.
