The Council finds that the use of shared electric micromobility device sharing within Berkeley has numerous benefits, including improved mobility for residents, reduced personal vehicle ownership and vehicle miles traveled, and overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this Chapter is to facilitate shared micromobility within Berkeley by establishing a program under which permitted devices may operate within the City of Berkeley’s right-of-way, establish device parking requirements, and associated fees.
