“The only losers are single occupancy cars.” Anne Brask, JUMP
SSFM’s Melissa May hosts APBP Micromobility panel discussion
Micromobility is one of the fastest growing movements in the world of transportation. SSFM Senior Planner Melissa May recently organized a panel on Micromobility titled Going Macro with Micromobility at the annual Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals, Inc.
Among the takeaways from the panel:
- Both cities and providers are bullish on #ebikes, #scooters, and other forms of #micromobility to make positive contributions to #modeshift, #safety, #equity, #carbonoffsets, and other goals as cities look toward #sustainability.
- While there are areas for improvement in #enforcement, #data sharing, and #lifecyclemanagement, the overwhelming message is that people are demanding new forms of #alternativetransportation, which provide cities with the justification to shift #landuse away from a disproportionate focus on cars and toward flexible spaces that accommodate all forms of #mobility
- #minneapolis is looking at ‘low speed vehicle’ lanes for electrified bikes and scooters, and companies like Spin are using #tacticalurbanism to demonstrate how shared spaces can work to promote harmony between all modes. The future is bright!
- ‘The only losers are single occupancy cars.’ – Anne Brask, JUMP
Joining Melissa on the panel were industry experts Rae-Leigh Stark, Project Planner at Toole Design Group, Brandon Blankenagel, Senior Engineer with the City of Spokane – Municipal Government, Andy Boenau, Director of Mobility Strategy at Gotcha Group, Anne Brask, Urban Planner at JUMP Bikes, Kay Cheng, Infrastructure Initiatives at Spin, William Henderson, CEO of Ride Report, Alexander Kado, Associate Transportation Planner for the City of Minneapolis Government, Public Works, Transportation Planning & Programming Division, Joel Miller, Bike Share Program Manager for the Transit & Mobility Division of the City of Seattle Government Department of Transportation, Briana Orr, E-Scooter Pilot Manager at the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), Jamie Parks, Livable Streets Director for the SFMTA | San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency and Gabriel Scheer, Senior Director of Strategic Development & Special Projects at Lime.
