2. ROGC Micromobility Permits: Prompting Innovation for Safer Streets
18-681 (Liccardo, Peralez,Davis)
City of San José Page 5 Printed on 12/12/2018
Joint Meeting for the Rules and Agenda December 12, 2018
Open Government Committee and
Committee of the Whole
Recommendation: Restrict the issuance of electric scooter permits to companies that
will include the following elements with their service:
1. Geo-Fencing for E-scooter Operations: In addition to complying
with standard permit requirements, companies will be required to
deploy technology that in designated areas-primarily sidewalks with
high pedestrian activity like Downtown and transit station
areas-either (a) halts, or (b) adjusts e-scooters to substantially lower
speeds no faster than a casual walking pace (approx. 5 mph). On
such pedestrian-dense streets, scooters may only be operated at full
speeds within bike lanes and shared lanes (“sharrows”).
a. Staff is directed to immediately conduct outreach to companies
that are operating, or seeking to operate, to assess technology safety
solutions and the path for expedited implementation.
b. The permit program will begin in February of 2019. By July 1,
2019, any company that is unable, or unwilling, to implement the
technology required to ensure the safety of our community must
cease operations in San Jose as of that date. Through the City
Manager, the Director of Transportation may modify that date as
necessary for successful implementation of the program. In the
intervening period, companies are invited to test and/or pilot safety
technology solutions in San Jose in coordination with the
Department of Transportation.
c. The City would work with the applicants to define
pedestrian-dense areas, such as Downtown core, or parts of Willow
Street in Washington-Guadalupe, Jackson Street in Japantown, or
Lincoln Avenue in Willow Glen, where suitable bike infrastructure is
also present.
d. Applicants will be responsible for the installation, maintenance and
removal of sensors or other infrastructure needed for the
deployment of their technology, facilitated by the Department of
Transportation.
e. If the technology warrants the use of city streets and poles, the
City Manager may restrict access with exclusive agreements to
minimize street clutter, provided that shared-use agreements can
enable fair competition among companies.
2. Geo-Fencing for E-scooter Parking: In pedestrian-dense areas, the
City may mandate escooter parking areas to ensure that the City can
avoid tripping hazards, obstructing transit boarding, and blocking of
sidewalks for residents with limited mobility or
disabilities. Permitted companies must deploy suitable technology to

Committee of the Whole
ensure compliance.
3. Data sharing: Permitted companies must provide data-with
appropriate restrictions to protect personal information and
proprietary data from competitors- with the City to allow
Department of Transportation and the Valley Transportation
Authority staff to gather insights about frequency of usage and
routes to assist with infrastructure planning, monitoring first and last
mile connections, and with e-scooter monitoring and compliance.
Operators should also enable third-party Mobility as a Service
(MaaS)
providers to integrate scooters into their apps, including availability
data and support for transactions, allowing for scooter use by a
wider population.
4. Safety-reporting capability: Permitted companies must enable
residents to readily report unsafe riding (e.g. riding on sidewalks in
ways menacing to pedestrians, weaving through traffic, riding in bike
lanes in the wrong direction, etc.), defective scooters, and scooters
left on private property with an easy-to-use app feature. City staff
should also work with permitted companies to explore options for
reporting by non-smartphone users.
5. Safety Messaging and Prevention: Permitted companies must
display prominent messaging to riders at the beginning of each ride
that educates them about San Jose’s rules and safe riding practices.

3. ROGC Public Wayfinding & Information Kiosks within the Downtown Sign
18-682 Zone. (Khamis, Peralez)
Recommendation: 1. Direct staff to bring to the Community and Economic
Development Committee, for later cross-reference to the City
Council, appropriate amendments to City code to allow the
Downtown Association to place kiosks in the public right-of-way
that operate as public wayfinding and information portals within the
downtown sign zone, at no cost to the City and that ensure
consistency of kiosks with the City’s existing initiatives around
wayfinding, including design standards and stakeholder access.
2. Add “Wayfinding & Information Kiosks Sign Code Changes” to
the 2019 January-June work plan of the Community and Economic
Development Committee.
