Hi all! This is a little off-topic from bike collectives stuff but still in the bike spectrum of things, so here's what's up:
Mexico City just installed the first technical board for bike share and dockless transportation systems infrastructure and operations management and I'm super stoked to be part of it. Right now we're trying to gather information from other systems around the world on what their regulations are specifically with the dockless bikes and scooters operators. Some of the questions we're trying to find answers for are:
- What are the requirements for companies that offer these services to
operate in your city?
- Do companies have to pay some sort of right to operate in the city? If
so, how much is it and how often do you do contract renewal?
- Which are the penalties for companies who don't stick to the rules?
- Do companies have to install infrastructure for their bikes? Given
they are dockless, some sort of designated spaces or areas?
- Do companies have to contribute to the bike infrastructure maintenance?
If you or anyone you know have some info or is willing to chat at some point, let me know!
Thanks everyone!
Much love,
-Jim Mayerstein
@enzo has emails for people in LA who know about this I believe. -Ariel

Hi Jim,
Good timing—Reno, Nevada City Council is meeting tomorrow and likely approving a franchise renewal with Lime, so I have been able to grab the original, temporary agreement, staff report, and proposed continuing agreement for you to dig into as you please. Reno got ahead of the curve, did an RFP from various bikeshare companies, and has passed regulations that only allowed Lime access to the public right-of-way. The original franchise agreement was made between Lime & 5 partners including the neighboring city of Sparks, Washoe County (which both cities are part of), Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, and the University of Nevada, Reno. Just a bit of background there. I'm not intimately familiar with the program's workings, but if your group has questions, I'm happy to do my best to answer them, or direct you to someone who can.

Jim,
Feel free to give me a ring if you want to chat about this. I'm operating Biketown, Portland's bike share program. It seems like you want to know more about private companies who operated their own bikes/scooters. We operate the bike share system for the city. Linked is our contract with the city https://www.portlandmercury.com/images/blogimages/2016/01/21/1453412591-amended_bike_share_contract.pdf .
In brief responce to your specific questions:
- What are the requirements for companies that offer these services to
operate in your city? Most requirements are around the number of bikes we wil have working and available, time around response to vandalism, commitement to equal distribution of bikes through the city, and reporting.
- Do companies have to pay some sort of right to operate in the city? If
so, how much is it and how often do you do contract renewal? The city pays us to operate the system. The city keeps the money users pay to ride the bikes.
- Which are the penalties for companies who don't stick to the rules? We
don't get paid our operations fees if we can not fulfill our contract
- Do companies have to install infrastructure for their bikes? Given
they are dockless, some sort of designated spaces or areas? We do for some of our stations. We also use city infrastrcure and call these bike rack "Community Corrals". People can park in stations or community corrals for free. They are able to park in any location in the city, but they are charged $2. Annual members are able to park anyware in the system's area without fee.
- Do companies have to contribute to the bike infrastructure
maintenance? We do not, but I know some scooter companies are.
Hope that helps,
-Momoko

Momoko, thanks so so much for this info! We're trying to dig into other countries regulations so we can find a standard and also adjust it for our currency. I love you work in this, I'm just starting this job and is really cool, we'll se how it goes, I might have to plan a Portland visit for business (and bike pleasure) purpose!
Muchos abrazos,

I’ll get back to you on LA City.

Arlington, Virginia, USA is still in a pilot of dockless eScooters with several who have them around. The paid a fee to be considered and number limited with payment. Competing companies. Some packing like spaces (paint spray on pavement) near MetroRail stations recently announced.
Not sure the rest of the DC area jurisdictions, but Arlington claims to be forward thinking. Arlington adopted bikeshare before much larger Fairfax County ~26? square miles, vs ~700 or so,...). I've seen several companies wandering thru towards DC and Maryland going towards Baltimore. University of Maryland, incorporated towns/cities, etc.
I was a member when offered to powder income, but so on off it was very frustrating bordering upon cruel... CaBi has some eBikes, but I've not tried them...
WABA did a comparison of bikeshares a while back, time, cost, process to checkout / race type thing.
Sorry no links handy.
Like Paris I think some are ready to Chuck the share in the river or something. The eScooters I've seen. Many places where would not want them, not allowed and some destroyed/broken and in the way/blocking streets and sidewalks. Wearing helmets and sticking to rules of where they are allowed (onstreet with cars, Not in parks, rules/laws largely ignored like skateboards) as they are being adopted seems to be the purpose of the pilot besides a runoff among competing vendors, imnsho...
Full disclosure: I bought a cheap off brand small folding eBike about a year ago, using disabled status pushing the limits of access and acceptability as a wheel chair equivalent, informally. I blogged about it, and CaBi crap, if you call it writing, more like public complaining.
I've seen articles of mountains of stored and excess bikeshares and one local Coop (VeloCity with at least one person posting on here, Ron?) sold off some that withdrew from the DC market, ofo iirc.

Hi Jim,
Good timing—Reno, Nevada City Council is meeting tomorrow and likely approving a franchise renewal with Lime, so I have been able to grab the original, temporary agreement, staff report, and proposed continuing agreement for you to dig into as you please. Reno got ahead of the curve, did an RFP from various bikeshare companies, and has passed regulations that only allowed Lime access to the public right-of-way. The original franchise agreement was made between Lime & 5 partners including the neighboring city of Sparks, Washoe County (which both cities are part of), Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, and the University of Nevada, Reno. Just a bit of background there. I'm not intimately familiar with the program's workings, but if your group has questions, I'm happy to do my best to answer them, or direct you to someone who can.

Hi all! This is a little off-topic from bike collectives stuff but still in the bike spectrum of things, so here's what's up:
Mexico City just installed the first technical board for bike share and dockless transportation systems infrastructure and operations management and I'm super stoked to be part of it. Right now we're trying to gather information from other systems around the world on what their regulations are specifically with the dockless bikes and scooters operators. Some of the questions we're trying to find answers for are:
- What are the requirements for companies that offer these services
to operate in your city?
- Do companies have to pay some sort of right to operate in the city?
If so, how much is it and how often do you do contract renewal?
- Which are the penalties for companies who don't stick to the rules?
- Do companies have to install infrastructure for their bikes? Given
they are dockless, some sort of designated spaces or areas?
- Do companies have to contribute to the bike infrastructure
maintenance?
If you or anyone you know have some info or is willing to chat at some point, let me know!
Thanks everyone!
Much love,

I may take my drivel here, edit/cleanup, find links and put up on NoVAPeers.pbworks.com Personal energy dependent.
