What: the first month of the city's new micromobility service (vendor named "VO" in the captions).
Where it stands: commissioners questioned geofencing, sidewalk riding, right-of-way parking, access-plan signups, crash detection and three-wheeled options; the full fleet is expected in spring 2027.
Next: staff to provide data requested by the Mayor.

The mayor praised the new ride share bikes as more affordable (for residents at or below 200% of the poverty level) and mostly equipped with baskets; a speaker asked for clearer citywide communication on how affordability is defined.
VO launched September 1 with over 3,000 users and about 7,000 trips; Lime phasing out by month's end. Staff acknowledged pricing confusion between the vendors and promised clearer communication.
