Abstract

How are micromobility providers working to improve the accessibility, infrastructure and adoption of new modes of transportation? As cities begin to embrace new modes of mobility, we must prioritize the needs of our vulnerable populations. Yes, e-mobility helps people get where they need to go faster, cheaper and more easily. But elected officials, local governments, and companies themselves must come to the table to align on how to provide equitable services for all –in particular, low-income, non-English speaking, elderly, and geographically disconnected communities.
