  • Abstract:
    Santa Monica is a coastal city west of downtown Los Angeles with a population of roughly 91,000 people. The city is a leader in sustainable mobility, having been the first in Los Angeles County to launch a municipally-owned and operated bicycle share system in 2015, called Breeze Bike Share. Shared micromobility devices such as bicycles, electric bicycles (e-bicycles), and electric scooters (e-scooters) create a more diverse, convenient, and accessible transportation network that can provide more transportation options, reduce congestion, and improve quality of life. In 2018, private e-scooter companies began operating with unsanctioned e-scooters in Santa Monica and the city needed to quickly determine how to best react to this development. After weighing their options, the city of Santa Monica approved a 16-month Shared Mobility Pilot Program allowing four private companies (Bird, Jump, Lime, and Lyft) to provide shared mobility services, including e-scooters and e-bicycles, under new city regulations. The city selected the Shared Mobility Pilot Program participating operators through a rigorous selection process, which included a public comment period.
