Micromobility generally refers to a variety of lightweight devices, that are usually electric, including the more common e-bikes and e-scooters. As micromobility increases in popularity due to its convenience, affordability and low environmental impact, it is important that Richmond Hill establishes regulations and guidelines both to ensure safety in public spaces and allow for more sustainable modes of travel.

The Micromobility Strategy addresses safety, enforcement and education related to micromobility vehicles in our city and is one of the components in the City’s Transportation Master Plan.
