Micromobility is any small, low speed transportation device that is fully or partially human-powered or electric-powered, including bicycles, electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes), scooters, electric scooters (e-scooters), and other small, lightweight wheeled conveyances. Micromobility devices may be privately owned or deployed by vendors such as scooter share or bikeshare systems. These shared systems may be docked or dockless. Docked systems have permanent stations where devices must be picked up or dropped off. In a dockless system devices do not need to be locked to a permanent fixture, however, they may need to be parked within a defined area.

Micromobility is playing an increasing role as a viable short distance transportation option both nationally and in North Carolina. This report describes opportunities for actions to support the integration of micromobility into the state’s transportation system and the role of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)’s Integrated Mobility Division (IMD) in providing technical assistance to North Carolina communities seeking to integrate micromobility options.
