There has been widespread growth of micromobility vehicles in both large cities and small towns. However, these micromobility vehicles use existing right-of-way and transportation infrastructure that was not designed with them in mind. As a direct result of the lack of appropriate guidance on how to design roadways to accommodate the growth in micromobility vehicle use, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Pedestrian and Bicycle Standing Committee developed the Micromobility Facility Design Guide Informational Report, which summarizes potential design challenges micromobility users experience as they travel on typical roadways. The report also identifies design solutions with real-world examples to accommodate micromobility. We invite you to explore the full report and continue the conversation with us below.
