Helpful primer from Oregon on shared use mobility data (bikeshare, e-scooters, carsharing, ridehailing services). Lots to think about!

Hello Fellow TDM Professionals,
I am sharing a recently completed project from my consultants at Trillium Solutions.
Attached is the Shared Use Mobility Data Primer. This document was developed to provide small and medium sized communities with information on what shared use mobility data is, why it is important to manage, and the steps to take in managing it. I hope you find it useful.
*The excerpt below is intended as a pull out piece for elected officials and managers to help them understand why the subject is important.*
*Why This Matters*
Public demand for shared mobility is growing, as is our understanding of how it fits into the broader picture of transportation solutions in Oregon communities. In the course of their operation, shared mobility companies collect a large amount of data about their users and travel patterns. Local jurisdictions can establish guidelines for how companies use this data, and also what data these companies need to share with the jurisdiction. In many jurisdictions, a condition of approval for shared mobility companies to operate within their boundaries is a data sharing and management agreement.
For jurisdictions, having access to shared mobility data allows them to see travel patterns in their communities, make responsive transportation planning decisions, ensure oversight of shared mobility companies operating in the public right of way, and monitor equity impacts of these services.
