What is mobility sharing
Mobility sharing is a transportation solution ideal for short-distance, point-to-point trips. It allows users to pick up an available scooter or bike for use within a specific service area, generally the boundaries of a city.
- Some bikes and scooters are "dockless", meaning they can be picked up and dropped off wherever within the service area. These scooters have GPS capabilities to monitor use and identify location.
- Scooters and bikes that are not dockless have to be returned to a certain location.
How to use shared scooters
Scooter users must follow the same traffic laws as bicyclists. They are allowed to use city and Three Rivers Park District trails. However, according to state statute, they can’t be used on sidewalks.
Scooters must be parked upright and stabilized with a kickstand when not in use. They must not be parked in any location or manner that will disrupt normal and reasonable pedestrian traffic or access to things such as pedestrian ramps, driveways, entrances, transit stops and crosswalks.
Report an unsafe or abandoned scooter or bike
To report an unsafe or abandoned scooter or bike, contact the company the scooter or bike belongs to. Company phone number and/or email contact information are located on each device. Also, an identification number is located next to a QR code on the scooter or bike. Have this number ready when contacting the mobility provider or the city.

Reporting to the city

If the scooter or bike is on private property and you are able to, move it to the sidewalk or some place safe where it can be seen.
