Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · ordinance

Miami-Dade County is considering an ordinance to regulate the operation of micromobility devices, electric bicycles, and motorized scooters. The ordinance, File Number 261016, aims to re-establish regulations similar to a previous ordinance that sunsetted. It specifies rules for operation, including speed limits and where devices can be ridden and parked, and allows municipalities to enforce these regulations through interlocal agreements. The ordinance includes a sunset provision of 2 years from its effective date. It was adopted on first reading by the Board of County Commissioners on 6/16/2026 and is scheduled for a public hearing and second reading on 7/21/2026. The specific area of applicability mentioned is Crandon Boulevard between the northern limits of the Village of Key Biscayne to the northern entrance of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, contingent on municipal interlocal agreements. Enforcement will be by civil penalty, with fines of $250 for a first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses.
