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 June 1, 2026, and had its first reading adopted by the Board of County Commissioners on June 16, 2026. A public hearing and second reading are scheduled for July 21, 2026. The proposed regulations apply 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 interlocal agreements with municipalities. Key provisions include limiting device speed to 20 mph, prohibiting sidewalk operation except for parking, requiring operation in bike lanes or on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or less, and establishing parking restrictions. Municipalities can enforce these regulations and may adopt additional restrictions, provided they conduct a 60-day public awareness campaign and post signage. Violations are subject to civil penalties, with a first offense costing $250 and subsequent offenses $500. The ordinance includes a sunset provision, expiring 2 years from its effective date. The ordinance was sponsored by Raquel A. Regalado.
