Cleveland regulates shared e-scooters and bikeshare through City pilot agreements and right-of-way permits, with UH Bikes operating bikeshare and various scooter providers operating under City-issued mobility permits.
UH Bikes, sponsored by University Hospitals, operates Cleveland's bikeshare with stations citywide. Shared e-scooter operators run under pilot frameworks coordinated by the City's Department of Public Works and City Planning, requiring right-of-way permits, geofencing in parks and downtown plazas, parking corral compliance, and incident reporting. Riders must follow Ohio Revised Code §4511 traffic rules and Cleveland Codified Ordinances on sidewalk riding limitations.
Riding violations can lead to citations under Cleveland Codified Ordinances 471 and Ohio Revised Code §4511, and operators can lose permit privileges for repeated complaints.
