Austin Micromobility Intelligence

Austin is setting the pace for public crash data.

Austin is the first major city in Mantis Motion Labs’ research to provide a public system where crash-level micromobility data can be independently queried, inspected and exported.

Austin Data in Motion

Verified micromobility records by year

All 79 records contain “Micromobility” in the public dataset’s units_involved field.

2026 is year-to-date. The apparent increase after 2021 requires confirmation that classification methods remained consistent.

A Clearer Signal

Recent records now dominate the public view

Austin’s structured data makes the change visible without forcing visitors to interpret raw query rows.

54 of 79verified records occurred from 2022 through 2026 YTD.

Texas Public-Records Benchmark

Austin delivered insight while other major cities are still delivering status updates.

Response time matters, but usable data matters more. Austin is the only Texas city in this comparison that supplied an independently queryable and exportable crash dataset.

The Next Level of Leadership

Austin already has the foundation. These connections would make the data nationally instructive.

Device Detail

Separate e-scooters, e-bikes, pedal bicycles, hoverboards, one-wheel devices and mopeds.

Ownership Status

Distinguish personally owned devices from shared or rental devices.

Provider Linkage

Connect provider, device and trip identifiers where those records are retained.

CRIS Linkage

Document how crash-level records join to available unit- and person-level records.

Method History

Confirm whether classification or ingestion changed around 2021–2022.

Quality Signals

Publish source, completeness, refresh timing and known limitations with every update.

Proposed Future State

From query rows to a living Austin safety picture.

A future API connection could preserve Austin’s source data while presenting it in a format residents, planners and safety partners can understand immediately.

Method Note

Transparent about what the numbers mean.

The 79 records are verified public crash-level records explicitly classified with “Micromobility” in units_involved. They should not be interpreted as every Austin micromobility crash. The 2026 figure is year-to-date, and historical comparisons require confirmation that classification practices were consistent.
