The U.S. National Park Service has issued a final rule creating a modern regulatory framework for powered micromobility devices such as e-scooters and hoverboards within national parks, clarifying where and how these devices can be used while restricting them in wilderness areas.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Park operators gain new control to allow or restrict e-scooters and similar devices in specific park areas, giving founders in micromobility a clearer path to enter or expand in federally managed outdoor spaces.
