European Mobility Week Workshop

European Mobility Week Workshop

March 2024

 

Micro Mobility for Europe (MMfE) represented by Christy Pearson (Voi) and Amandine Mauvais (Dott) was invited by Eurocities to host a discussion table during the European Mobility Week Workshop in Brussels. The workshop was organised by DG MOVE and Eurocities. During the workshop, the European Commission, representatives of municipalities, national coordinators, and mobility operators together designed the ideal shared urban space.

Participants of the discussion table acknowledged the increasing numbers of shared micro-mobility devices in the past years and that cities need to create suitable frameworks to accommodate new modes of transport. During the discussion, an agreement was found that cities should not be designed for cars. Parking has been a challenge for both, industry and municipalities. MMfE representatives highlighted the lack of dedicated parking infrastructure for shared e-scooters and presented best practices from Stockholm and Ghent with the use of existing bicycle rack infrastructure. Participants agreed to replace car parking with parking for shared micro-mobility devices.
