VKB MICRO MOBILITY

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · 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 (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 a 20 mph speed limit on County-owned rights-of-way, prohibition of sidewalk operation except for parking, and operation only within bike lanes or on streets with a 30 mph or less speed limit. Parking restrictions aim to prevent obstruction of ingress/egress and maintain sidewalk clearance. Municipalities can enforce these regulations via civil penalties ($250 for first offense, $500 for subsequent offenses) after a 60-day public awareness campaign and posting of signage. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, expiring 2 years from its effective date. The ordinance was adopted on first reading and is pending further action.
