The memorandum discusses a recommendation to adjust the Shared Micro-Mobility Device Fee in San José, proposing a decrease from $139 to $100 per device, effective January 1, 2026. This adjustment aims to enhance the program's competitiveness and encourage new operators to apply for permits, as the current fee is considered a barrier to entry. The program, which began in 2019, allows shared scooter operators to provide devices to the public and supports the city's transportation and environmental goals. The memorandum outlines the program's history, challenges faced in recent years, and the anticipated impact of the fee reduction on program viability and revenue generation.
