Consultation has concluded.
We checked in with the community about the shared micromobility pilot program
The Arvada City Council approved a micromobility pilot program on August 16, 2021, which allowed shared mobility devices (electric scooters, shared bicycles, e-bikes) to be used within the City.
The program launched with Bird as the initial vendor providing only electric scooters. The program could extend to other types of mobility devices in future iterations. After the program had been in place for six months, we asked the community in the summer of 2022 to tell us how the program is going.
Thank you for taking our survey and letting us know how things are going with electric scooters in the city!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our summer 2022 survey where we asked you how things are going with the shared micromobility pilot program - e-scooters in the city. The City team reviewed the survey responses, shared an analysis of the results with the Arvada City Council, offered recommendations and heard the Council's direction for action. You can watch their Nov. 14 presentation to the City Council to learn the key takeaways from the survey (presentation begins at 35:33). We also invite you to check out the City team's report of the survey results and the pilot program as a whole. Some key findings from the survey were:
Scooter parking: Parking is a big frustration to residents. Nearly 80 percent of survey respondents agreed or strongly agreed that e-scooters are improperly parked.
Underage riders: Sightings of people believed to be under-age riders using e-scooters causes concern.
Rules and regulations: More Arvadans would be supportive of the pilot program if more regulations were in place to address issues.
We also gathered the following data about how the community is using shared e-scooters:
We will share next steps with you once the City team has incorporated the City Council’s feedback into the next steps of the program. For future updates on this project, we encourage you to visit the City website. Thank you again for taking our survey and letting us know how things are going with e-scooters in the city!
