Abstract/Summary
For the state of California, “the transportation sector remains the largest source of GHG emissions in 2020, accounting for 37 percent of California’s GHG inventory in 2020, a drop from 40 percent in 2019” (California Air Resources Board, 2022). Comparatively, in the City of SLO, the transportation sector accounted for 50% of greenhouse gas emissions (City of San Luis Obispo, 2009). Electric micro mobility options are zero-emission devices that are smaller, more affordable, and require less heavy duty charging. The Electric Micro Mobility Transportation Plan produced by the San Luis Obispo Climate Coalition (SLOCC) proposes electric micro mobility considerations to the City of San Luis Obispo. The U.S. Department of Transportation defines e-micro mobility as “any small, lowspeed, electric-powered transportation device”, with examples like e-bikes and e-scooters (2023). The plan shall draw connections between the City of SLO’s existing conditions, analyze different case studies where micro mobility infrastructure and safety considerations have been implemented, and propose implementation measures.These principles will be in accordance with the City of SLO’s Active Transportation Plan, Climate Action Plan, and SLO Climate Goals.
