Micromobility & Traffic Safety
WEBINAR: June 16, 2026, 11:00AM - 11:45AM PT
This webinar presents key findings and practical policy recommendations from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety's latest research on micromobility & traffic safety.
Despite the growing popularity of micromobility devices, cities and communities have struggled to ensure their safe use. This challenge stems from a lack of standardized regulations, inconsistent rules between privately owned and shared devices, and deficiencies in data collection efforts that hinders the development of effective safety strategies that can be integrated into urban environments.
AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety collaborates with University of Tennessee to improve knowledge on micromobility by consolidating relevant information on the safety aspects and risks associated with the use of micromobility devices. This project explores the infrastructure improvements, effective policies, and equipment that can be crucial in promoting safe use of sustainable transportation options such as e-bikes and e-scooters.
Presenters:
- Dr. Chris Cherry, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
- Dr. John MacArthur, Portland State University
