Shared micromobility has the potential to offer communities an array of individual and community benefits, such as increased mobility, greater environmental awareness, and increased use of active transportation and non-vehicular modes. With careful planning and public policy, micromobility can also enhance accessibility and quality of life in cities. This chapter dis-cusses the growth of shared micromobility, its impacts on users and communities, and policy considerations for managing the potential adverse impacts of shared micromobility on curbspace management. This chapter is organized into four sections. The first section discusses the growth and evolution of shared micromobility in the U.S. The next summarizes user demographics and shared micromobility impacts. The third section discusses shared micromobility policies and practices, including two policy case studies from Seattle, Washington and Santa Monica, California. The final section concludes with a discussion of the future of shared micromobility.

In recent years, mobility on demand (MOD) is gaining popularity among mobility consumers. This innovative concept is based on the principle that transportation is a commodity where modes have economic values that are distinguishable in terms of cost, journey time, wait time, number of con-nections, convenience, and other attributes. MOD enables consumers to access mobility, goods and services on demand by dispatching or using shared mobility, delivery services and public transportation solutions through an integrated and connected multi-modal network. This chapter describes the different services that have emerged in the MOD ecosystem and the core enablers of MOD, such as stakeholders, business models and technology. The chapter concludes with a discussion of how MOD and vehicle automation could impact cities and the transportation network and their energy use.
