Paris up now talking about geofencing for their scooters too. Wanted to force scooters to be parked in certain zones. 6 scooters max go a zone. It’s imperfect. Started in 2020. I used shared e-scooters in 2019, and scooters were being liberally tossed into the Seine it was a bummer.

Next speaker also taking about scooter parking & geofencing.

Ok now we know who this user is. Onto safety analysis. 6/10 don’t feel safe! That’s true scooters & bikes. ESP when sharing w cars.

What can we do about that metric? Users want:
Secure parking
Better education
Network improvements w shared e-scooters. Quality instead of length of network. With full connectivity. Eg no breaks where you have to hop off and walk next to scooter. I hate dismount zones.

Where do these users come from? What mode are they shifting from? Ideally some want these users to be ppl shifting from cars. Speaker notes there is almost an “Obsession with this indicator” 86% come from other sustainable modes. Like walking bussing. Not cars. But in Barcelona it’s dense and ppl don’t drive as much. Don’t obsess over shifting from cars. There are other benefits.

40% do however combine with public transit. Nice.

These coalition members want consistent rules across Europe for micromobility users. Speed limits, helmets, no twin-riding (I think that’s what she said?), easy to follow rules, enforcement of rules. Sober riding campaign. We struggled in Boulder with e-scooter adoption bc some of the accidents are so catastrophic. We will get an update next month to see how the pilot went. Amazing that Europe trying for single set of rules. Can Mayor Pete roll this out for US?

Ok micromobility is up. We are immersed in one of biggest challenges & changes for next century. Pandemic accelerated change, forced decisionmakers to create change. There’s a coalition in Europe of biggest microbiology providers. “Europe is built around cars.” That feels like crazy talk to me as US feels so much worse than Europe in terms of car centric ness.

Gonna be hard to top the last guy.

But let’s give it a try with last mile logistics. “Stop taking about it. Do it now. Make mistakes and learn. Cities shouldn’t talk about setting a target for 2030.” Make a solution and let’s get to implementing.

This general session is on or UAM for short. Speaker notes that there is an allegation of “social washing” by promoting medical use cases in UAM. I mean she did just draw me in with that exact scenario 🤷🏻‍♀️.

There are tons of ppl milling about outside today and they’ve stopped checking badges as diligently. Free for all??

Either way let’s get learning !
