Micromobility & Your City: Leveraging Data to Achieve Policy Outcomes
Micromobility services and modes are fundamentally influencing how we travel and shifting our built environments. What remains to be seen, however, is how micromobility services are reshaping communities, which often experience the disruptions of new modes and technology without the benefits.
The data generated by micromobility services can help cities better understand how their communities, public spaces and existing transportation landscapes are being impacted by new technologies and services and where there are gaps in needed service. These data can also offer rich insights into how micromobility services are helping or hindering equity, sustainability and safety goals.
Micromobility & Your City: Leveraging Data to Achieve Policy Outcomes is a mobility data tool for cities to evaluate micromobility services against policy goals that foster safe, sustainable and equitable communities for all. The platform provides a starting point for cities as they begin to address how micromobility services function within transportation systems, how those systems currently serve communities and how to articulate long-term outcomes and craft data-driven policies around those goals.
NUMO convened a coalition of over 50 experts from city governments, research organizations, mobility service operators and data aggregation platforms to develop use cases for mobility data based on real-life municipal regulations. Bringing together stakeholders from many different sectors and disparate perspectives to reach consensus was critical in creating this tool and achieving a joint understanding of how mobility data can be used effectively, proactively and responsibly.

The discussions were complemented by a survey of 16 local regulations governing micromobility services and evaluations of 7 pilot programs in Canada, Mexico and the United States to gather the underlying data and use cases comprising Micromobility & Your City.
