On October 22, 2026, Miami city commissioners approved a new micro‑mobility ordinance. The measure restricts e‑scooter operation to bike lanes and increases civil penalties for animal‑cruelty offenses.
The changes aim to boost safety for both riders and pedestrians while providing stronger deterrence against animal cruelty. The city has been expanding micro‑mobility options and pursued tougher enforcement for animal‑cruelty violations.
