Summary

Cheyenne only allows shared dockless scooters through an operator picked in the city's formal RFP process, and bans riding any bicycle or motor-assisted scooter on sidewalks in the central business district.

When appropriate, the city shall issue an RFP to invite proposals from any person interested in providing dockless vehicle services. The RFP shall outline the requirements, evaluation criteria, scope of services and other conditions for providing the service.

Full Breakdown

Chapter 10.82 lets the city issue a request for proposals to select one or more dockless vehicle operators (electric bikes and scooters) rather than letting companies deploy fleets unilaterally; the RFP evaluates fleet specs, maintenance plans, safety and rider education, data sharing, and revenue to the city. Selected operators must maintain their fleet, respond to complaints about improperly parked or abandoned units, and can be fined or lose their operating authority for noncompliance. Separately, Section 10.80.060 bars riding any bicycle or motor-assisted scooter on sidewalks within the defined central business district.

Violations & Fines

Operators face fines, suspension, or revocation of their city operating authority for violating the agreement; riders violating the sidewalk chapter are fined under the general penalty in Section 1.24.010.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any company just drop scooters in Cheyenne?

Can I ride a shared scooter on downtown sidewalks?
No. Section 10.80.060 bans riding a bicycle or motor-assisted scooter on sidewalks within Cheyenne's central business district.
