The City of Gainesville and UF are teaming up on a pilot program to allow city residents to rent electric scooters starting Monday.
“We join cities and campuses nationwide that are adopting safe and sustainable transportation alternatives to help alleviate traffic congestion and enable access to popular, alternative mobility options,” Gainesville Mayor Lauren Poe said in a statement. “As always, the safety of our neighbors is our top priority, and we ask everyone to use caution and follow all safety guidelines when operating e-scooters."
The Gainesville City Commission granted final approval to the one-year pilot program at its last meeting. The city said the cooperative effort aims to "regulate the safe use and operation of the shared micromobility vehicles on campus and around town."
