Community & Advocacy
AmpX is committed to shaping a future where micro-mobility is safe, accessible, and sustainable for all. We advocate for policies that increase access in our communities, protect all road users, and promote sustainable transportation options.
Here are some of our key priorities:
Safe and Inclusive Infrastructure
- Complete Streets: We support the implementation of Complete Streets policies, which prioritize the needs of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and micro-mobility users.
- Protected Bike Lanes: We advocate for the creation of protected bike lanes to ensure the safety of cyclists and micro-mobility users.
- Lower Speed Limits for Passenger Vehicles: We support reducing speed limits in urban areas to create safer environments for all road users, especially vulnerable road users like pedestrians, cyclists, and micro-mobility users.
- Clear and Consistent Speed Limits: We support the implementation of clear and universal speed limits for micro-mobility devices on shared paths.
Industry Standards and Safety
- Safety Certification: We support the adoption of rigorous safety standards, such as UL certification, for electric scooters and their components.
- Battery Safety: We advocate for stringent safety regulations for lithium-ion batteries, including proper charging and storage practices.
Equitable Access and Incentives
- Inclusive Incentive Programs: We believe that incentive programs should be equitable and inclusive, ensuring that electric scooters are considered alongside other sustainable transportation options.
Responsible Ownership
- Rider Education: We promote education and awareness campaigns to encourage responsible riding behavior and safety practices.
- Parking and Storage: We support policies that allow for the safe and convenient storage of electric scooters on private property, such as apartment buildings and workplaces.
By working with policymakers and industry leaders, we strive to create a future where micro-mobility is a vital part of our transportation landscape.
