Is Micromobility Here to Stay? Insights from Canadian Communities Prioritizing Climate Action

This study examines how micromobility is addressed in the planning and policy documents of Canadian municipalities, particularly in cities prioritizing climate action. Using both deductive and inductive coding, the analysis applies a framework within the existing literature (the Sustainable Micromobility Framework) while also identifying emergent themes through a grounded theory process. The findings show that micromobility is increasingly integrated into long-range municipal plans, often within active transportation strategies. The three goals of the Sustainable Micromobility Framework are well represented, but additional themes emerged that suggest other priorities in municipal policy. These findings highlight both the relevance of the existing framework and the potential for its expansion when considering policies and plans related to micromobility.
