Abstract

As Malaysia faces rising urban congestion and greenhouse gas emissions, micromobility solutions—such as e-scooters—present promising opportunities for sustainable transport. This study, conducted under the Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB) 2021–2030, examines the potential of integrating micromobility into multimodal urban transportation networks. Through a multi-method approach involving stakeholder engagement, user perception surveys, infrastructure assessments, and emissions modelling, the research explores user behavior, infrastructure readiness, and policy implications. Findings reveal that micromobility, when supported by adequate infrastructure and governance, can significantly reduce private vehicle dependence, lower emissions, and enhance first- and last-mile connectivity. Scenario modelling projects up to a 39% reduction in traffic volume under higher adoption rates. Additionally, environmental analysis shows considerable CO2 savings potential, despite current adoption primarily replacing shorter trips. The study underscores the need for coordinated policy reforms, infrastructure investment, and public engagement to maximize the role of micromobility in advancing Malaysia’s climate and urban mobility goals.
