Scootergeddon: The Future of Urban Transportation
Description:
The rise of electric bikes and scooters are providing new avenues for consumers to navigate urban areas. These micro-mobility companies are generating a wealth of data that can be leveraged by cities to adequately plan for future development, enhance services, and increase equity among citizens. But there are many challenges; safety, open data and transparency, data access, urban planning, and funding future transportation projects. This session will explore the challenges for these innovations, current rules and regulations in place, and how governments, foundations, and mobility companies can work together to provide value for citizens.
