How does it work?

A shared mobility device is rented to the public from multiple locations within the city.  To begin the rental process companies typically require users to download an app to unlock the devices, or use a kiosk at a station.   When finished with a trip on a dockless e-scooter users should park the device anywhere between the sidewalk and the curb.  Where you might might see a bench or a trash can, but not blocking pedestrian walkways.

Rules for Riding

  • Users must be 18 years or older and must have a valid driver's license. 
  • Users are not required to wear a helmet on e-scooters, but helmet is strongly recommended.
  • Only one person at a time may ride an e-scooter. 
  • E-scooters cannot exceed 15 miles per hour.
  • Users can ride on surface streets and are encouraged to ride in bike lanes where available.  Under state law, sidewalk riding is prohibited. 
  • The fine for sidewalk riding is $200.
