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 on rights-of-way. The ordinance, titled VKB MICRO MOBILITY, was introduced on 6/1/2026 and adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on 6/16/2026, with a public hearing and second reading scheduled for 7/21/2026. The proposed regulations aim to allow municipalities to enforce rules on County-maintained roads within their boundaries through interlocal agreements. Key provisions include limiting device speed to 20 mph, prohibiting sidewalk operation except for parking, restricting parking to designated areas, and requiring devices to be operated in bike lanes or on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less. 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 ordinance specifically applies 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. No public comment is detailed in this legislative record.
