What happens when a growing fleet of e-scooters and micro mobility devices hits the streets before the rules are written? Are we paving the way for innovation—or accidents?
With micro mobility booming in urban centres and no unified regulatory framework in place, professionals in highways and transportation are faced with a critical challenge: how do we ensure safety, accessibility, and sustainability without stalling progress? This episode unpacks cutting-edge research from TRL and the University of Warwick’s WMG to offer actionable insights that matter to policymakers, engineers, and technology leaders alike.
Join Mark Urbanowski from WMG alongside George Beard and Ianto Guy from TRL to discover the key technical and regulatory gaps currently affecting micro mobility safety—including alarming findings on battery fires and structural failures. You’ll also gain clarity on what future-ready, inclusive regulation could look like and how it can unlock sustainable transport innovation and hear first hand from the experts shaping UK and EU policy as they explain the risks of inaction—and the opportunity to lead the charge on smarter regulation and safer roads.
Take some time over the long Easter weekend to get ahead of the curve on micro mobility regulation and be part of shaping a safer, smarter future for urban transport.
