SMC Quarterly Convening: Winter 2024
The Minnesota Shared Mobility Collaborative is holding its quarterly convening on Thursday, December 12. The event will be held virtually via Zoom from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM. This convening will focus on new research about shared micromobility. North American Bikeshare and Scootershare Association’s Membership & Engagement Director Laura Mallonee will share information from NABSA's 5th Annual Shared Micromobility State of the Industry Report for North America. The only report of its kind for North America, this report demonstrates shared micromobility's continued viability and strength as an important mode in the public transportation ecosystem.
Accessibility Observatory Director Eric Lind will share recent findings that demonstrate how enhancing the infrastructure for safe active travel can improve the usefulness of transit, as well as how integration of bicycles, e-bikes, and shared micromobility with public transit is crucial for expanding accessibility and encouraging multi-modal travel behaviors.
The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required. Once you have registered, you will receive an email confirmation with a Zoom link. The link should not be shared with others; it is unique to you.
