City Council: On the agenda — Feb.5, 2024

E-Scooter Pilot Program update

Following the completion of a three-season pilot program, City Council is being asked to provide approval for E-scooters to remain a permanent transportation option in Red Deer. To inform the decision, Council has been provided with usage data, public survey results along with feedback from Municipal Policing Services and the two e-scooter companies that operated in 2023.
Administration is not recommending any changes to the program and there are no direct financial or budget implications that would result from the decision.
