▶ Micro-Mobility
Micro-mobility refers to a range of small, lightweight vehicles operating at speeds typically below 25 km/h (15 mph) and operated by users personally. Micromobility devices include bicycles, e-bikes, cargo bikes, e-scooters, electric skateboards, bike share fleets, and more. See Wikipedia article: Micromobility.
Micro-mobility Pilot Project: E-Scooters
[Updated: June 10, 2023]
The City embarked on a study of micro-mobility issues in 2020 (News Release, Dec. 2020), and began conducting a five-year pilot project. Below is the June 2023 update from the Active Transportation Dept.
"If you're using an e-scooter in Mississauga, it's important to know that the City has recently made changes to its By-Laws to regulate where e-scooters can be used. People who are 16 years of age or older can operate e-scooters on public roads that have a speed limit of less than 50km/hr, as well as on bike paths, bike lanes, and multi-use trails that are next to the road. However, it's prohibited to use e-scooters on sidewalks or park trails.
"Would you like to share your views on the use of e-scooters in Mississauga? You can visit yoursay.mississauga.ca/escooter to provide feedback on your experiences using an e-scooter in Mississauga and interacting with others who use e-scooters in the city.

Adaptive & Inclusive Micro-mobility (AIM)
[Updated: June 7, 2023]
MCN! is excited to be participating on the advisory committee for the Adaptive & Inclusive Micro-mobility (AIM) project, to do a pilot research project in Mississauga with community engagement in 2023.
Phase 1 of the AIM project includes dates for in-person and virtual public consultations, engaging with people with disabilities and older adults to study the interests and needs of adaptive micro-mobility.
Phase 1 is funded through a grant by the Port Credit Community Foundation for a six-month period, through the auspices of Access 2 Accessibility (A2A).
In Spring/Summer of 2023 there will be community consultations. NOTE: This project is taking place in Mississauga, but people from outside of this area are welcome to attend the virtual public consultation.
▶ A SURVEY for feedback will be available in a variety of formats for everyone to give their opinion. Take the Survey online.
If you have comments or questions regarding this project, please reach out to AIM@Access2Accessibility.com.
Learn more about the project on A2A's dedicated AIM webpage.
