Introducing the Micromobility Policy Atlas.
The Shared-Use Mobility Center has launched a Micromobility Policy Atlas that classifies shared bike, e-bike, and scooter policies around the world, classifying such policies according to a dozen areas of regulation and management.
The interactive atlas map allows users to search and refine by mode, country, policy type, year, or just by exploring the map.
"Developed through a collaboration between SUMC, the New Urban Mobility alliance, and the WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, the Atlas provides an open data cross-section of shared micromobility policy that will be continually expanded to reflect evolving regulatory approaches," according to the atlas webpage.
