The city, with the help of the Downtown Alliance, has been taking to the streets to spread the word about scooter safety. Last week a team of police officers and street ambassadors passed out informational materials while informing the public on best practices for safe scooting. These include:
-
One person per scooter.
-
Yield to people walking, bicycling and people with disabilities.
-
Wear a helmet for safety.
-
Don’t ride on parkland.
-
Don’t ride while under the influence of intoxicants.
-
Park scooters with care.
The city’s Dockless Mobility Program website has more information, and you can find pictures of the street team jaunt around downtown on Flickr and Facebook.
