Scoot safely

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.
