VKB MICRO MOBILITY

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 is scheduled for a public hearing and second reading before the Board of County Commissioners on 7/21/2026. It aims to re-establish regulations previously created by Ordinance No. 24-45, which sunsetted after two years. The proposed ordinance would allow municipalities to enforce these regulations within their boundaries through interlocal agreements. Key provisions include limiting speeds to 20 mph on County-owned rights-of-way, prohibiting sidewalk operation except for parking, requiring operation in bike lanes or on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less, and establishing parking restrictions. Violations are subject to civil penalties, with first offenses incurring a $250 fine and subsequent offenses $500. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, meaning it will expire 2 years from its effective date. The specific applicability is limited to Crandon Boulevard between the northern limits of the Village of Key Biscayne and the northern entrance of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, contingent on an interlocal agreement. Raquel A. Regalado is the prime sponsor. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on 6/16/2026.
