On October 22, 2026, Miami city commissioners approved new regulations covering e‑scooters and other micro‑mobility devices, along with higher civil penalties for animal cruelty.
The micro‑mobility ordinance limits the operation of these devices to bike lanes or designated paths.
The same vote increased the civil fines associated with animal cruelty offenses.
Both actions are aimed at improving safety for riders and pedestrians and imposing harsher consequences for animal cruelty.
