Shareable Dockless Mobility Devices
BACKGROUND
Dockless scooters and bikes provide an alternative, flexible transportation choice for Atlanta residents and visitors to get around. On March 2, 2020 the City of Atlanta City Council voted to adopt Ordinance 20-O-1174 establishing a new permit structure for allowing companies to operate these devices.

“Never Ride on Sidewalks” stickers remind everyone that riding on the sidewalk is NEVER allowed. Always ride in bike lanes, on multi-use trails, or in the street.

"Park Here” stickers show great examples of dockless parking locations. DO park here. DO park at similar locations that leave space for people walking and using wheelchairs.

Special Event Planning
If you are planning or hosting a community event that requires special considerations for dockless devices such as no-ride zones, slow-down zones, parking/no-parking zones, or other items, contact us at mobility@atlantaga.gov. The Office of Mobility Planning provides assistance in creating zones and communicating requests and requirements with dockless companies. We also have signage to help identify special event parking for scooters and bikes. Event organizers can temporarily check-out signage to help manage their event footprint. See example below:
