The City of Grand Junction has begun evaluating the possibility of permitting the operation of shared micromobility devices within the city limits through a forthcoming pilot study. Shared micromobility services consist of fleets of small, fully or partially human-powered vehicles such as bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters.
The City would like to assess the community’s interest in shared micromobility and understand public concerns. The City encourages interested community members to attend a virtual listening session to learn more about the pilot study, ask questions, or voice concerns. Attendees can expect a brief overview of the pilot study and platform to share their thoughts and discuss the pilot study with City staff members.
1st Listening Session:
Wednesday, June 15 at 12 p.m.

2nd Listening Session:
Thursday, June 16 at 5:30 p.m.

Community members can also send questions, comments, and concerns to the Community Development Department at micromobility@gjcity.org.
An ordinance related to regulating micromobility use within the City is tentatively scheduled to be considered on July 20 following a public hearing. If adopted, the City will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) soliciting interested micromobility companies to submit a proposal for a one-year pilot study which will allow for the deployment of micromobility devices in the city of Grand Junction.
