Micromobility

Micromobility

The small, (usually) electric and shared vehicles that are challenging us to rethink the status quo.

In the ever-shifting landscape of tech disruptions in urban mobility, one disruption in particular has proved as useful as it is controversial: micromobility.

 

From electric scooters to dockless bicycles, NUMO sees micromobility as an entry point for beginning to assess the benefits (allowing residents to travel short distances car-free) and challenges (accessibility gaps and policy, data and land use implications) of tech-enabled disruptions in transport.
