In an era of rapidly evolving transportation options, local government authorities (LGAs) face the complex task of reevaluating their policies on privately owned and shared e-scooters, e-bikes and emerging forms of micromobility.

Making well-informed decisions is not just important; it's imperative for fostering positive outcomes that benefit the city, its residents, and local businesses.

Through conversations with various cities, we've uncovered a common challenge: each is reinventing the wheel.

Crafting policies for privately owned vehicles and launching shared operator programs for micromobility is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process, often involving multiple departments. Recognising this, a senior executive at an Australian city who had already embarked on the micromobility journey openly expressed the need for a comprehensive resource—a Micromobility Playbook.

Enter Zipidi, a team of micromobility specialists with a wealth of experience dating back to 2018 and expertise in risk management and insurance—skills that set us apart from generalist transport consultancies. Having supported numerous cities and organisations on their micromobility journeys, we decided to distil our knowledge into a structured process, giving rise to the Ride Micromobility Playbook.
