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. Municipalities can enforce these regulations within their boundaries 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 June 16, 2026, and a public hearing and second reading are scheduled for July 21, 2026. The ordinance applies 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. Penalties for violations include civil penalties of $250 for a first offense and $500 for subsequent offenses.
