Help craft Austin’s scooter rules

Do you have opinions on scooters and e-bikes? Sure you do! And now, the city of Austin is actively looking to hear residents’ opinions on safety, parking and how they use shared micromobility devices. According to a news brief from the city’s Transportation and Public Works Department, the online survey currently underway aims “to find new and innovative ways to make Austin’s transportation system safer and more convenient for everyone” and will be used in refining the rules that regulate scooters and e-bikes. In addition to the survey, which is open through April 6 and can be found here, the city will also host an in-person event at the Carver Branch of Austin Public Library from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 24.
