Shared electric scooter and bike programs in Miami-Dade operate under municipal pilot agreements; the county follows Florida Statute 316.2128 for personal scooters and prohibits sidewalk riding in business districts.
Florida Statute 316.2128 governs micromobility devices and motorized scooters, allowing them on roadways and bike lanes but giving local governments power to restrict use on sidewalks. Miami-Dade unincorporated areas generally allow scooter use on streets and bike lanes but prohibit sidewalk riding in business districts and on Metrorail station platforms. Operating permits for shared fleets are issued by individual cities (Miami, Coral Gables, Miami Beach) rather than the county. Riders must be at least 16, and helmets are recommended. Scooters cannot exceed 20 mph and must yield to pedestrians on shared paths.
Sidewalk riding in restricted areas, riding under 16, or operating shared scooters outside designated zones leads to citations, scooter impoundment, and platform suspension.
