Opportunities and challenges for shared micromobility planning : a case study of Austin dockless scooter-share program
Shared Micromobility consists of a variety of shared, non-automotive personal modes, from traditional station-based bike-sharing to cutting-edge dockless electric scooters (e-scooters). The rise of shared micromobility in the U.S. was attributed to scooter-share programs in many cities such as …

Understanding Micromobility in New York City: An Examination of Vehicle Type Use and User Behavior in Protected Bicycle Facilities
A shift towards the use of micromobility vehicles (MMVs), specifically motorized two-wheeled vehicles in urban mobility networks, has gained significant attention over the past decade. Many have commented on a perceived increase in MMV use in New York City (NYC) in particular, a trend that appears …
