How can shared micromobility be considered “for all” when devices are designed with assumptions about users’ physical abilities? A new report from Veo and the Disability Mobility Initiative (DMI) details recommendations for how cities can make their shared micromobility offerings more accessible to all members of their communities, including those living with a disability.
“Shared Micromobility for All” uses findings from two focus groups representing local and regional disability rights and access organizations to outline strategies for improving shared micromobility for all people. The report emphasizes that ongoing collaboration between city policymakers, micromobility providers, and disability advocacy groups is essential to moving these strategies from theory to a lasting practice.
The report’s five key recommendations include:
- Recommendation #1: Clear the Sidewalk of Micromobility Vehicles
- Recommendation #2: Improve Fallen Vehicle Detection and Reporting
- Recommendation #3: Increase Vehicle Access for People With Disabilities
- Recommendation #4: Invest in Affordability and Access
- Recommendation #5: Invest in Workforce Development
Read the full report to explore actionable items for each recommendation broken down by stakeholder group, from city policymakers to micromobility providers.
