Transportation Commission - May 11, 2026

The City of Davis Transportation Commission held a meeting on May 11, 2026, primarily to discuss the extension of the contract with Spin, a micro-mobility service provider offering e-bikes and scooters. Spin representatives presented data on ridership growth, service expansion plans including new e-bike deployments, and proposed pricing adjustments to accommodate inflation and maintain affordability for local residents and students. The commission discussed operational aspects such as device mix (favoring scooters over bikes), parking challenges, safety concerns, and community engagement. Public comments included both support for the program and concerns about safety and privacy issues related to geo-fencing technology. After deliberation, the commission voted to recommend a three-year contract extension with Spin to the City Council. Additionally, the commission addressed internal procedural matters and previewed upcoming agenda items, including a subcommittee formation for downtown circulation planning.
