Micro-Mobility 

Scooter Safely

Bird Scooters are a relatively new mobility option in Dublin. To ensure their safe and enjoyable use and based on feedback from our community survey last year, the City is hosting free scooter safety workshops. Learn about using an e-scooter and smart features found on Bird scooters and in the Bird app. These workshops offer residents the resources needed to ride safely and park responsibly in Dublin. There will also be a Q&A portion at the end of a brief presentation.

Dublin Micro-Mobility Demonstration Pilot

The City of Dublin is implementing a Micro-Mobility Demonstration Pilot study introducing motorized Bird scooters to the City. (CoGo bikes will be implemented at a later date.) Phase 1 will make scooters available south from Interstate 270 to Tuttle Crossing Blvd. and west from Sawmill Road to Interstate 270. This area includes both Historic Dublin and Bridge Park. This phase has a minimum three-month duration.

At the April 11, 2022 Dublin City Council meeting, Resolution 18-22 was adopted. This resolution temporarily permits the operation of low-speed micro-mobility devices on streets, sidewalks and shared-use paths for a duration of 12 months, beginning May 1, 2022.

Scooter Pilot Program Survey

The City of Dublin is dedicated to improving mobility options for residents, visitors and the workforce. The City is currently partnering on several pilot projects to improve various aspects of mobility and provide accessible transportation options to our increasingly diverse community, in an effort to connect more people to more places.

As part of the City of Dublin’s Micro-Mobility Demonstration Pilot, we’re interested in hearing your thoughts about the motorized scooter program.

Problem with a Scooter?

If you see a Bird that’s blocking the public right of way, there are several ways to alert Bird when there’s an issue:

  1. Open the App. In the bottom left corner of the Bird mobile app, click on the Community Mode icon and file a report. This sends an immediate action alert to the Bird Operations Team.
  2. Email Bird. Send an email with details of the location and file a report: hello@bird.co
  3. Call Bird. The 24/7 support line is 866.205.2442

Curbside Management

The City of Dublin’s Division of Transportation & Mobility is studying curb management conditions – the regulation and accommodation of on-street parking and other uses at the edge of our streets – and looking to explore improvement opportunities within the Bridge Park and Historic Dublin districts. Within these walkable, mixed-use activity centers such as these districts, the demands being placed on the spaces surrounding our curbs have grown more diverse and intense over the last several years. Spaces typically reserved exclusively for parking and loading zones now serve as key pickup/dropoff points for a range of services and the passengers and packages they serve – from Lyft and Uber to Amazon and DoorDash/GrubHub. The spaces also provide critical resources for innovative forms of shared mobility services, from CoGo bikes and Bird scooters, to the Dublin Connector free shuttle service. These spaces also helped to keep our local businesses thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic, providing expanded outdoor dining and gathering spaces – with benefits suggesting that such curb uses should be considered permanent features on some streets.

To assess opportunities to both better manage current uses of these spaces, and to appropriately accommodate recent and potential new uses, this study seeks to better understand the user experience from the perspective of the residents and property/business owners of these two districts. The following is a brief survey, your responses to which will add invaluable insights to inform our pending analysis of improvement opportunities.

Speed Management Program

Dublin Speed Management Program Project

Vehicular speed concerns are common feedback Dublin receives from residents. These safety concerns prompted the update of the Traffic Calming Program to a Speed Management Program. The Speed Management Program will provide a framework for a data-driven approach to speed management. The program goals and strategies focus on creating safe and comfortable streets for all road users across Dublin, with a focus on people walking and rolling.

The project team is developing strategies to address speeding and wants to hear from residents about their concerns and what would help them feel safe and comfortable on Dublin streets. This page will be updated with opportunities to provide input as we develop the Speed Management Program.
