Scooter Stats for 2022
NOVEMBER 2022 - In 2022, there were a total of 130,944 scooter trips and 503 bike trips (averaging 500 combined a day in peak months). We continue to see connective roads such as Gay Street, Clinch Avenue, White Avenue, and North Central Street being the streets of highest scooter use (see heat map below), a trend that suggests that most micro mobility rides are used for point-to-point destination travel.
Overall, we believe the micro mobility program offers a safe way for locals and visitors to get around our City in a quiet, low-emission manner.
A City staff committee continues to meet on a regular basis to review data and discuss any needed modifications to improve operations.
