The City of Berkeley is soliciting applications from qualified operators to participate in its Shared Electric Micromobility Permit Program. This initiative regulates the deployment and operation of shared electric scooters, bicycles, and other micromobility devices within the city’s public right-of-way. The program aims to enhance transportation options, promote sustainability, and ensure equitable access while maintaining public safety and minimizing disruptions. Applicants must demonstrate operational capability, safety compliance, community engagement strategies, and adherence to environmental and equity goals. The selected operators will be responsible for device deployment, maintenance, user education, data sharing, and compliance with city regulations. The City will evaluate applications based on criteria such as safety, affordability, equitable service distribution, and operational experience. Permits will be issued competitively, with limits on the number of operators and devices. The program establishes a structured framework to manage emerging mobility technologies while aligning with Berkeley’s long-term transportation and sustainability objectives.
