How we manage scooter rentals

Our scooter sharing ordinance requires

• Scooter sharing networks to have a license agreement with the City
• That they follow rules for parking and right of way
• State law already manages how low power vehicles (like scooters) operate in the street

City regulations intend to welcome new transportation options like motorized foot scooters. We still need networks to operate in an organized manner consistent with City rules.

The ordinance and license agreement provides specific guidance to scooter companies and the public on local rules for scooter sharing in the public right of way. This includes on City sidewalks.

The City has the right to remove scooters that are

• Unattended
• Blocking traffic or public infrastructure
• Compromising public safety
