Miami votes to bring back electric scooters rentals for five weeks

On November 18, Miami chose to end the multi-year pilot that allowed companies such as birds and lime to operate electric scooter rentals in the core city center. The practical results of the decision are that scooters are not permitted in the city. Less than two weeks later, the Miami Commissioner has now chosen to launch a new temporary program that will enable six companies to rent vehicles in the Edgewater city, Brickell and Grove Coconut until January 5, 2022.

“This news came as aid to Miami residents who had long relied on e-scooters as a safe, affordable and sustainable way to get around. We hope to work with Commissioner and Mayor of Suarez to develop a permanent program that prioritizes safety for motorists and non-non-non-non-non-non-non-non-regency Riders, “said Bruno Lopes, senior manager for government relations at Lime.” We specifically hope the city will continue to invest millions of dollars in the cost of e-scooter lime and other operators pay to the protected bicycle path. The most proven way to ensure security All road users. “

Under a new program, the driver must wear a helmet when they travel with a scooter. In addition, this city will enforce a more stringent parking limit to reduce sidewalk chaos. The Commissioner chose three people after another implementing a new rental program after they chose four to one for the previous memo 11 days ago. Both voices were led by Commissioner Alex Díaz de la Portilla. A brief duration of the latest pilot is due to local city law which limits the length of the temporary program. Maybe Miami once again can ban scooters while the city makes public efforts to choose three companies that will operate under a permanent program.
