  1. E-scooter Status UpdateMarch 25, 2019

  2. Purpose of Today’s Presentation • Status update - work to date since 1/14/2019 • Dynamic pricing pilot • Developing the model • Live testing next 3 months • Examples

  3.

  4. Dynamic Pricing Pilot

  5. How Do most cities charge fees? Most cities charge a per unit fee per scooter (usually annually) • Range from $20-$300 • Raleigh - $300 (unit) • Durham - $100 (unit) • Greensboro - $50 (unit) No cities reward good behavior and safe riding

  6. Dynamic pricing - Pilot Cities Dynamic Pricing – monthly fee charged to e-scooter vendors that fluctuates based on a series of variables Omaha, NE Charlotte, NC Detroit, MI Partnership with Passport

  7. What is the dynamic pricing pilot? • Fee system that allows us to meet City goals: • Incentives for safety and good parking behavior • Disincentives for poor safety and poor parking behavior

  8. What is the dynamic pricing pilot? • INCENTIVES given to vendors/users for: • Safety • Parking without blocking sidewalks • Helmet usage • First/Last Mile - Transit • Fee varies by: • Amount of time scooter is parked • Parking zone (5 zones)

  9. Parking fees change by Zone

  10. example of scooter incentives Did not wear a helmet, parked in a high pedestrian area, blocked sidewalk, and scooter was parked for 4 hours User wore a helmet, parked near transit, not blocking sidewalk, and scooter parked for less than 1 hour

  11. example of scooter incentives Parked in high pedestrian activity area, blocking sidewalk, user did not wear a helmet and scooter was parked for 4 hours Dynamic Fee Example (1 million trips) No helmet +15 cents Block sidewalk +15 cents Parked for 4 hours +15 cents 45 cents $450,000

  12. example of scooter incentives Parked near transit, not blocking sidewalk, user wore a helmet and scooter was only parked for a short time Dynamic Fee Example (1 million trips) Used helmet -15 cents Did not block sidewalk -15 cents Parked for <1 hour 0 cents -30 cents $0

  13. Dynamic pricing & growing the system • Allows number of e-scooters in Charlotte to grow as ridership grows • > 3 trips per scooter per day • If vendor can demonstrate they have more than 3 trips per scooter per day then they can expand their system • Dynamic fee increases if vendor does not exceed 3 trips per day

  14.
