Attachment_D_-_Service_Area_Map.pdf

The document is a service area map for the City of St. Petersburg's Scooter Share Program in Florida, depicting the geographical boundaries for scooter operations. The map illustrates the red-outlined service area within the city limits, which covers the central part of St. Petersburg, bounded by various neighborhoods and near landmarks such as Pinellas Park, Treasure Island, and Pinellas National Wildlife Refuge. The map includes city boundaries marked with dashed lines and clearly delineates the specific red-lined zone where scooter share services will be permitted.

The service area map supports the City of St. Petersburg's Request for Proposals (RFP) to establish a micromobility program with one to three scooter share operators. The city seeks providers to operate motorized scooters within a carefully defined urban environment, with current regulations limiting scooter speeds to 15mph, prohibiting sidewalk use, and requiring parking only in designated areas. The proposed program builds upon the city's existing bicycle infrastructure of over 120 miles of facilities and aims to provide alternative transportation options in a city known for economic growth and tourism, with approximately 250,000 residents and 700,000 annual visitors.
