Shifting mode choice towards transit and active transportation, and shortening automobile trips and increasing carpooling, are critical components to building efficient, equitable, and sustainable cities, and is also essential to accommodating Maryland’s changing demographic composition. For more information on MDOT planning and programming efforts, please contact the Office of Active Transportation and Micromobility.
MDOT in Motion is a series of webinars, interactive sessions, and educational opportunities offered by the Maryland Department of Transportation's (MDOT) Office of Active Transportation and Micromobility. The series highlights multi-modal projects and programs that are designed to get Marylanders moving safely, and to connect them to opportunities and to each other. In Maryland, Complete Streets is the deliberate approach to planning and designing streets for all users, MDOT in Motion demonstrates opportunities to make options like walking, biking, and transit more accessible.
The July 3 webinar from 12-1pm will explore the role of micromobility, such as e-bicycles, e-scooters, and other small vehicles, in Maryland. MDOT's new program for micromobility includes work with the Motor Vehicle Administration to set vehicle safety standards and providing assistance to local jurisdictions that permit shared micromobility fleets for public use. Guest speakers Marta Woldu will showcase how the University of Maryland educates their community to ride micromobility safely and Tyler Smith will discuss the impact of the Baltimore City dockless vehicle program on transportation equity.
