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. 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 similar to a previous ordinance (Ordinance No. 24-45) that sunsetted, allowing municipalities to enforce these rules within their boundaries via interlocal agreements. The proposed regulations include limitations on speed (20 mph), operation on sidewalks (prohibited except for parking), parking locations, and rider limits. Violations could result in civil penalties of $250 for a first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, expiring 2 years from its effective date. A specific applicability is noted for 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.
