NORTH SHORE E-SCOOTER PROPOSAL

Micromobility Overview

• Zero-emission personal

mobility device, powered by human propulsion or electric motor

• Examples: e-bike, e-scooter, e-

moped, e-tricycle, cargo bike, pedicab

NORTH SHORE E-SCOOTER PROPOSAL

Active Transportation is Essential Transportation

• Micromobility aligns with Council objectives:
• Diversify and expand range of mobility options
• Reduce GHG emissions by the community with use of zero

emissions mobility devices

• Opportunity to continue trend in reducing traffic congestion
• Transportation impacts of COVID-19 likely to last long

after we return to ‘normalcy’

• Promote sustainable transportation that aligns with

physical distancing requirements
