Dockless Vehicle Permits in the District

New Emergency and Proposed rulemaking governing the Dockless Vehicle Permit Program

The primary impact of this rulemaking is to allow dockless fleet increases based on specific performance metrics. The rulemaking also addresses criteria for deferral or waiver of permit fees, and definitively states the level of confidentiality with which DDOT will treat required data submissions. As an emergency rulemaking, it went into effect June 11, 2020 and will remain in effect for 120 days (until October 9, 2020) and was published in the DC Register as a proposed rulemaking on June 19, 2020. Written comments may be filed until 30 days with Dan Emerine, Manager, Policy and Legislative Affairs Division, Office of the Director, District Department of Transportation, 55 M Street, S.E., 7th Floor, Washington D.C. 20003. An interested person may also send comments electronically to [email protected].

Applications for the District’s bike and scooter share programs are currently closed. For further information regarding these programs and to sign-up for the dockless mobility mailing list, please email [email protected].
