Garcia, Hahn, Solis, and Dupont-Walker

Los Angeles County Micro-Mobility Review

Bike Share first came to LA County in 2015. Today, several cities across the county offer public bike share systems. The Metro Bike Share system is currently in the City of Los Angeles. The Cities of Santa Monica and Long Beach launched their own bike share systems separate from Metro Bike Share. Many cities now host private bike and scooter share programs, with varying strategies for regulation. Together, these micro-mobility services provide important first-/last-mile connectivity, mobility access to low income and historically disinvested communities, and access for visitors who otherwise might rent a car.

These micro-mobility services use different technology, different vehicles, different methods of payment, and different fare structures. Each program is funded through different means, especially in the case of private fleets. They also offer different service areas and discount programs for low income access.

To better understand how all of these micro-mobility services are working, and what new approaches may be necessary to build upon past successes and improve access to these important resources throughout LA County, Metro should assess all of LA County's micro-mobility programs.
