    DATE: January 4, 2019 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Daryl Grigsby, Director of Public Works VIA: Derek Johnson, City Manager ENC: NACTO Guidelines for the Regulation and Management of Shared Active Transportation (Version 1: July 2018) PREPARED BY: Greg Hermann, Interim Deputy City Manager Adam Fukushima, Active Transportation Manager SUBJECT: SHARED ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION DEVICES The purpose of this memorandum is to respond to inquiries about the proposed operation of shared active transportation devices, such as scooters and bicycles. This memo provides pertinent background information, an overview of relevant City ordinances, policy and safety considerations and potential next steps for City Council consideration. Background In September 2018, the City was informed that Bird, an electric scooter sharing company, had unannounced plans to launch in San Luis Obispo without the proper permits or licenses. City staff reached out to Bird representatives and invited them to take part in a dialogue before beginning a “rogue launch” similar to the company’s practice in other cities. Bird responded favorably, traveled to San Luis Obispo and met with City staff to discuss their business model and has so far agreed to follow City policy and procedures relating to their business. Since then, four other scooter share companies have also inquired about operating in the City. They include Lime, Spin, Gotcha, and Uscooter. Staff has been in discussion with these companies and has informed them that a memo would be distributed to the Council outlining issues and potential paths and that no City actions would take place until such time as Council provided direction on whether to proceed with any ordinance changes and provide input on outreach, vendor selection, etc.

To meet this promise, and to make sure that bike share’s benefits are equitably offered to people of all incomes, races, and demographics, public engagement must be at the fore of bike share advocacy, planning, implementation, and operations. Cities, advocates, community groups, and operators must work together to engage with their communities—repeatedly, strategically, honestly, and openly—to ensure that bike share provides a reliable, accessible mobility option

  • City Council Report
    City Council Report City Council Meeting: June 12, 2018 Agenda Item: 7.B To: Mayor and City Council From: David Martin, Director, Transportation Planning Subject: Establish a Pilot Program for Shared Mobility Devices, by 1) introducing for First Reading an Ordinance setting forth the Pilot Program, defining the terms and conditions of the Pilot and repealing previously adopted emergency regulations, 2) adopting a Resolution setting fees and charges for the Pilot Program, and 3) adopting an Emergency Ordinance limiting the renewal period for Vendor Permits for Shared Mobility Devices for FY18-19. Recommended Action Staff recommends that the City Council: 1) Introduce for First Reading the attached proposed Ordinance establishing the Shared Mobility Pilot Program, defining the terms and conditions of the Pilot, and repealing previously adopted emergency regulations; 2) Adopt a Resolution establishing fees and charges in support of the Pilot program; and, 3) Adopt an emergency ordinance limiting the renewal period for Vendor Permits for Shared Mobility Devices for FY18-19. Executive Summary Shared mobility devices are proliferating in cities across the country, including the inaugural launch of Bird Ride, Inc. (Bird) scooters in Santa Monica in late 2017 and the introduction of Lime e-bikes in 2018. These small electric or human-powered devices are new and highly visible, drawing considerable attention and controversy when they arrive in any area. They have raised significant community concerns about safety and enforcement, including concerns about users riding on the sidewalk, doubling up on scooters, and riding without a helmet, all of which are prohibited under state and/or local laws; users failing to observe traffic controls in violation of the California Vehicle Code; and other unsafe or uncivil rider behaviors.

Action Plan Matrix with Timeline Table 3. Origin and Destination Indicators Foreword Pakistan’s rapidly urbanizing economy has been a central topic in policy circles for the last few years. Traffic and transport related issues faced by city dwellers are a regular feature in the news however, seldom do we see actionable policy recommendations being implemented. The popular approach to urban problem solving has been to allocate government expenditure for mega infrastructure projects that ultimately cater to long distance motorized transport. Pakistani cities are socially and spatially growing through unsustainable urban sprawl and misallocation of vital resources. The consequent damage of this unsustainable growth on air pollution and overall quality of life needs to be addressed with innovative approaches. This document has been prepared by a multidisciplinary team of citizens and urban professionals with the aim of influencing sustainable change in Pakistan’s urban mindset. The Islamabad Cycling Strategy intends to highlight and illustrate the possibility of non-motorized short distance inner city transport.

ENSTU 471 Fall 2016 Developing a Bike-Share Program for Salinas and CSUMB Introduction Bike-share programs are alternate forms of transportation most commonly found on college campuses or in city centers. These programs allow citizens, visitors, students and others to check-out a bike from a self-serve station and take it from point A to point B. Bike-share programs have grown worldwide at an increasing rate within the past decade. Image 1 shows that in 2001 there were only four worldwide cities that adopted a bike-share program, but that number dramatically increased from the years 2002 to 2014, when there were eight-hundred and fifty-five worldwide cities with bike-share programs.

To create these systems, cities, local governments, and trusted civic partners (e.g. downtown alliances, community-based development organizations) have typically followed a careful, coordinated process; developing structured public-private partnerships, vetting companies through competitive bidding, and managing and regulating systems through binding contracts, to ensure the best outcomes for the public. Over the past decade, the long-term public-private-civic/non-profit partnerships developed for, by, and along with bike share systems in the U.S. have helped this new transportation option to thrive. In many places, this coordination between cities, operators, and other community stakeholders has allowed bike share practitioners to grapple with complex issues around access and equity, expanding transportation options for low-income people, and focusing investments in communities with histories of chronic disinvestment.
