Offer Micromobility Services

Description

  • Provide micromobility options such as bike share or kick-style e-scooters to residents, tenants/employees, students and community members.
  • Bike share and kick-style e-scooters are services where users can rent a bicycle or e-scooter on a short-term basis by subscribing to a membership (e.g. monthly, yearly, or pay-as-you-go).
  • Micromobility trips are often intended to provide convenient travel options for all types of trips including commuting to work, recreation, errands, or connecting to transit.
  • * While e-scooters are not yet supported in Vaughan, this section is available for reference should the City opt into the e-scooter program.

Guidance

  • Partner with the City and micromobility service providers to launch a micromobility program in the City of Vaughan.
  • Designate an area for future bike share or e-scooter stations that is near the entrance, in a covered location, and is within walking distance to key destinations.
  • Support the launch of a micromobility service by subsidizing the launch of the service or provide memberships to residents, and employees in the service area.

Development Review

  • The applicant shall submit the micromobility service agreement or documentation as a condition of the applicable development agreement and/or through a letter of credit.

Additional Resources

  • Vancouver’s TDM Guidelines (ACT-08) encourages property owners to provide a fleet of shared bicycles for residents/employees and/or visitors and provide parking beyond the amount required by the Parking By-law. The purpose is to limit car-dependency of building users as the bicycles would only facilitate two-way trips.
