The City of Lawrence is planning a 6 month pilot program for the regulation of the operation and use of shared electric scooters (herein referred to as “Shared Scooters”) beginning in the spring of 2020 (“the Pilot Period”). The Pilot Period will help the City evaluate appropriate regulations and determine whether Shared Scooters support the Critical Success Factors in the City’s Strategic Plan including: Safe, Healthy and Welcoming Neighborhoods; Innovative Infrastructure and Asset Management; and Collaborative Solutions. Through public engagement and program evaluation, the City will determine whether and under what circumstances Shared Scooters will be permitted to continue operating in the public right-of-way.
