DALLAS -The City of Dallas Department of Transportation will accept shared dockless vehicle permit applications starting April 3 until April 22. Companies that offer shared dockless vehicles, such as electric bicycles and scooters to rent in the public right-of-way, will be eligible to apply for a permit.
The City will be selecting up to three companies to issue permits to for the 2024-2025 permit cycle, in accordance with the Program Rules that were adopted in August 2022. No permit applications will be accepted for 2024-2025 after the Call for Permit Applications closes.
Companies will be allowed to deploy up to 500 devices at service launch, with the potential for that number to increase incrementally every three months based on ridership and complaint numbers.
Companies will be required to comply with the City’s scooter and electric bicycle parking regulations, “No Ride Zones” like parks, plazas, and trails, and “Slow Ride Zones” like Deep Ellum. To cut down on sidewalk and street clutter, there are also limits on the number of units companies can park on each block.
