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 aims to re-establish regulations similar to a previous ordinance that sunsetted. It allows municipalities to enforce these regulations within their boundaries via interlocal agreements. The ordinance specifies operational rules, including speed limits (20 mph maximum), prohibition of sidewalk riding except for parking, and designated parking requirements. It also establishes civil penalties for violations, with fines of $250 for a first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses. The ordinance includes a sunset provision of 2 years from its effective date. The Board of County Commissioners adopted the ordinance on first reading on June 16, 2026, with a public hearing and second reading scheduled for July 21, 2026. The ordinance is applicable to Crandon Boulevard between the northern limits of the Village of Key Biscayne and the northern entrance of Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park, provided an interlocal agreement is in place. The ordinance is sponsored by Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado.
