A new report from the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) provides valuable insights and practical guidance for local and regional authorities, consultants, suppliers, and operators involved in shared micromobility services.
Shared Micromobility Services in Canadian Communities captures lessons learned from Canadian municipalities and other agencies that have considered, planned or delivered bike sharing or shared e-scooter services. The report outlines how these services can improve transportation efficiency, equity and sustainability, and overcome diverse regulatory and operational challenges.
Free distribution of this report has been made possible through the generosity of the project funders.
