The E-Mobility Strategy will focus the City’s priorities for e-mobility policy and program development which will be included as part of the Strategic Transportation Plan update, while remaining flexible enough to support new forms of mobility and technology Innovations. The E-Mobility Strategy will include short- and long-term actions to better prepare the City for a rapidly changing market that has seen electric bicycles (e-bikes), electric-scooters (e-scooters), seated power scooters and electric vehicles gain increasing popularity around the world. The City is currently working on a Shared Micromobility Pilot that will make rentable e-bikes and e-scooters available to the public in Summer 2023. Learn more at coquitlam.ca/escooter.

The goals of the E-Mobility Strategy are to increase both electric vehicle and e-micromobility adoption, to increase transportation choices and shared vehicle use, and reduce reliance on private vehicles. The expected benefits range from reduced greenhouse gas emissions, healthier lifestyles, less congestion (due to reduced private vehicle use) and lower household transportation costs (due to lower reliance on private vehicles).
