Following a proposal for a pilot program brought forward by Bird Scooters earlier this year, the Derby City Council took action at its most recent meeting on May 11 to address micromobility companies operating within the city limits. Given the concerns of city council members, the governing body looked to have something in place as soon as possible regulating such operations, adopting an ordinance to do just that on May 11. “It’s basically going to stop the ability for them to just say we’re going to come operate in your city without you knowing. If they do come in here and operate, we do have a fine schedule in the ordinance. We can assess those costs as well as they’re going to [have to] gather the equipment up,” said Kiel Mangus, deputy city manager.
