What is the transit agency’s role in developing micromobility solutions? TRB hosted a webinar on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Eastern that addressed how transit agencies can partner with organizations to deploy micromobility options. While much of the existing research around micromobility has focused on what cities can do to regulate it, this webinar identified how transit agencies can work with others in deploying shared bikes and scooters. Presenters will discuss case studies and lessons learned from transit agencies already offering micromobility.

The webinar featured research from TCRP Research Report 230: Transit and Micromobility.

This webinar is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program. 

The slides and recording are available.
