In 2017, a coalition of 10 high-profile non-profits signed the Shared Mobility Principles for Livable Cities (“Shared Mobility Principles for Livable Cities,” n.d.). The key declaration for this analysis is Principle 5, which declares ''We Promote Equity,'' and specifies that “Physical, digital, and financial access to shared transport services are valuable public goods and need thoughtful design to ensure use is possible and affordable by all users, regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, income, ability, or other characteristic/identity.” Among the signatories of the Shared Mobility Principles is the Natural Resource Defense Council (NRDC), who in 2018 authored, in collaboration with LADOT, a “Shared-Mobility Climate and Equity Action Plan (“Los Angeles Shared-Mobility Climate and Equity Action Plan,” n.d.).</ins></div></td></tr>

This requirement was enforced through mandatory reporting of scooter location data in the MDS format. While providers are usually only allowed to operate 3,000 devices in the city, this amount may be increased if they agree to add new devices in disadvantaged communities. In addition, each operator must provide “a low-income fare option, a cash payment option, and a non-smartphone option” for riders to access the devices (Couch & Smalley, 2019). </ins></div></td></tr>

Riders can request rides using Via's existing mobile app or by calling over the phone. Via then matches passengers with other riders along similar routes. Pricing is set in advance, with TAP card holders paying $1.75 and non-TAP riders paying $3.75. Currently however, all rides are free.<ref>LA Metro.
