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 was adopted on first reading on 6/16/2026. The proposed regulations apply 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 municipalities entering into interlocal agreements for enforcement. The ordinance defines various terms, sets operational rules such as a 20 mph speed limit on county-owned rights-of-way, prohibits sidewalk operation except for parking, and mandates operation in bike lanes or on streets with a 30 mph or less speed limit. Parking restrictions are also outlined to prevent obstruction. Municipalities can enforce these regulations and may adopt additional restrictions, provided they conduct a 60-day public information campaign and post signage. Violations are subject to civil penalties, with a first offense for wrongful operation of a micromobility device set at $250 and subsequent offenses at $500. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, set to expire 2 years from its effective date. No specific applicant or developer is listed; the requester is noted as 'NONE'.
