Moving forward, what role should dockless mobility play in Austin?

Vincent Harding

City Council, District 1

Dockless mobility options should be part of the transportation system we want for the 21st century. The ability to ride a scooter or bicycle for a trip that are a few miles is a feasible option for many people and could help to remove some cars from the road. This helps to relieve some congestion and fewer trips in the car means less pollution for the environment.

We should continue pushing for technological advancements to make dockless mobility options safer and sturdier to prevent injuries, as well as make sure these companies are being held to a high standard. Additionally, looking for ways to make paths for bicycles and scooters safer, and making sure that these bicycles and scooters are docked in responsible
locations.
