Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance (File Number: 261016) to regulate the operation of micromobility devices, electric bicycles, and motorized scooters. The ordinance, titled VKB MICRO MOBILITY, was introduced on 6/1/2026 and adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on 6/16/2026, with a public hearing and second reading scheduled for 7/21/2026. The proposed regulations apply to Crandon Boulevard from the northern limits of the Village of Key Biscayne to the northern entrance of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, contingent on interlocal agreements with municipalities. Key provisions include limiting device speed to 20 mph on County-owned rights-of-way, prohibiting sidewalk operation except for parking, and requiring devices to be operated in bike lanes or on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less. Parking restrictions aim to prevent obstruction of ingress/egress and maintain sidewalk clearance. Municipalities can enforce these regulations via civil penalties, with first offenses incurring a $250 fine and subsequent offenses $500. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, expiring 2 years from its effective date. No public comment is stated in this document.
