Providers

Leeuwarden currently has:

  • approximately 175 Check shared scooters;
  • approximately 15 Greenwheels and MyWheels shared cars.

Rules and criteria for shared vehicles

To ensure efficient shared mobility, criteria apply to providers and rules to users:

  • Users who park incorrectly 3 times can no longer make use of the service.
  • Providers must adhere to a maximum number of vehicles.
  • The vehicles are emission-free.

Trial with shared mobility hubs

This year, we will conduct a trial with shared mobility hubs. These are gathering spots for shared vehicles. In previous years, the local authority received complaints about incorrectly parked vehicles. In some cases, they were parked in the way, and in others they caused things to look untidy. The hub will ensure the vehicles remain tidily parked together and keep the pavement free for pedestrians.

Locations

The hubs will be in Bilgaard and in the city centre, in places where many shared vehicles are already available and where there is plenty of room on the pavement. The scooters will not be placed directly in front of buildings’ windows.

The locations where the shared vehicles will be parked will be marked and indicated with a sign. It will not be permitted to park vehicles outside the marked area.

Hubs in other cities

Other cities, such as Groningen, Rotterdam and Enschede, are already using shared mobility hubs. Experiences have been positive. Shared mobility hubs ensure less nuisance and a more organised picture at street level.

Shared cars

Approximately 15 shared cars are available in the city. They are Greenwheels and MyWheels. Around Leeuwarden, Freonen fan Fossielfrij Fryslân is working on plans to introduce shared cars to villages. More information can be found on the website district administrators.
