Response to Policy agenda for cities

26 May 2025

Micro-Mobility for Europe (MMfE), the coalition of shared e-scooter and e-bike providers, welcomes the Commissions initiative to develop a new EU Agenda for Cities. As cities across Europe face mounting pressures to deliver on climate goals, embrace digitalisation, and improve mobility, shared micro-mobility has become an essential part of the solution. We urge the Commission to explicitly acknowledge the strategic role of our industry in enabling cities to reach these objectives. A key tool for climate action and sustainable urban transport: Shared micro-mobility enables the transition away from private car use, reducing emissions, pollution, and congestion in cities. It offers a flexible, low-carbon transport alternative that reclaims urban space for people and contributes directly to the goals of the European Green Deal. To meet climate objectives, cities must support alternatives to private cars through practical tools and infrastructure that support shared and sustainable modes. Driving digitalisation in urban mobility: Shared micro-mobility is inherently digital. From smart fleet management to real-time usage data, shared micro-mobility is a driver of innovation in urban transport. These services are fully integrated into the digital transition and are vital to building modern, multi-modal mobility ecosystems. The EU Agenda for Cities should embrace the role that shared micro-mobility operators play. A first-mile/last-mile solution that increases access and equity: Shared micro-mobility complements public transport by increasing coverage and offering flexible, affordable access to mobility. It strengthens multi-modality, especially in underserved areas, and reduces reliance on private vehicles. For many urban residents, especially those without access to a car, shared micro-mobility offers a practical and inclusive mobility option. The need for EU support: prioritise investment in infrastructure: To unlock the full benefits of shared micro-mobility, cities need enabling infrastructure. That means safe, connected lanes, dedicated parking zones, and integration with public transport hubs. These investments are essential for making light and active modes a real alternative to cars. We call on the EU to prioritise funding and technical support for infrastructure that serves not only cyclists, but all forms of sustainable micro-mobility. The EU Agenda for Cities should support: Infrastructure investments that take space away from cars in favour of light, zero-emission transport; Scalable models for integrating micro-mobility into urban mobility planning and public transport; Capacity-building for smaller municipalities to implement safe and inclusive micro-mobility strategies; A balanced, fact-based regulatory environment that enables service provision without de facto bans. Conclusion Shared micro-mobility is not a niche trend, but a growing and vital part of Europes urban mobility landscape. Alone in 2024, shared mobility trips in Europe reached 640 million. This enables cities to act on climate, drive digitalisation, and make mobility more accessible. As the Commission shapes the EU Agenda for Cities, we urge it to recognise the full potential of our sector and ensure that EU policies, funding, and guidance reflect the value shared micro-mobility can deliver. MMfE stands ready to work with the Commission, Member States, and cities to ensure that the EU Agenda for Cities empowers sustainable, digital, and inclusive mobility for all.

Response to Creation of the Common European Mobility Data Space

7 Dec 2022

Micro-Mobility for Europe (MMfE) welcomes the European Commissions ambition to provide for more data transparency and access in the transport sector, notably through the development of a European Mobility Data Space (EMDS). MMfE believes that for EMDS to deliver on its objectives efficiently, data-sharing should be tied to clear use cases and objectives, supported by safeguards preventing the publication of privacy and commercially sensitive data, and executed through existing data-sharing standards. MMfE believes it has a contribution to make to this initiative, given the range of mobility data it collects from its operations in more than 200 cities across Europe. The micro-mobility industry recognises the public value of its mobility data, having the potential to shed light on urban citizens new mobility habits and to inform policies and infrastructure planning encouraging the uptake of sustainable mobility. MMfE members have a strong track record in Business-to-Government data-sharing and already share their data with most of the city authorities each individual operator is active in - essentially voluntarily complying with the Data Acts Business-to-Government requirements. In this context, Micro-mobility for Europes would like to share the following feedback in relation to the design of the European Mobility Data Space: Set clear use cases and associated data types for the EMDS. The EMDS should be designed based on a very clear mapping of the mobility use cases and objectives that are to be achieved through the initiative. Such mapping of the use cases should inform which exact data types, but also data formats, should be integrated into the EMDS (i.e. real time and/or aggregate data). This mapping should be performed with relevant industry data holders and users to ensure that the data shared is actually relevant and supportive of the EMDS objectives. Design safeguards or opt-out mechanisms related to the publication of data that can be considered commercially sensitive. The EMDS should not mandate the publication of commercially relevant data for data holders as it could harm the competitive running of sectors like the micro-mobility industry, and ultimately the EUs transport innovation goals. One way to do this could be to favour the publication of aggregate insights that are presented in a way that no single operator can be recognised, thus presenting industry-wide insights as opposed to company-level data. Reduce technical burden on Mobility Service Providers by relying on existing data-sharing standards for the publication of data on the Mobility Data Space. The integration into new data sharing (API) standards represents an important cost for micro-mobility operators, requiring a high amount of technical resources to integrate in the standard but also to continuously maintain it. Given this, it is important to minimize the technical burden put on operators by avoiding the duplication and design of new data-sharing standards and rather relying on existing industry-wide standards, that are already tried-and-tested. About us Micro-Mobility for Europe is a coalition of shared micro-mobility providers such as short-term rental of electric scooters and bicycles. Our members want to ultimately transform urban mobility by creating a sustainable transport ecosystem together with the cities in which they operate. We believe that micro-mobility solutions are essential alternatives to car ownership and use and we place people and the environment at the heart of mobility. MMfE defends the interests of the micro-mobility industry with the goal of guiding Europe towards a global leadership position in the adoption of sustainable urban transport.
