The decision

2024-02-05 · Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee · amended

As filed

The Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee recommends that the Infrastructure and Environment Committee recommend that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services conduct no further electric kick-scooter (e-scooter) pilots or trials, because e-scooters: a. present a significant safety hazard; b. cause serious injuries; c. are a barrier to accessibility; and d. enforcement is untenable.

On the agenda

As the city filed it

A presentation will be provided by Janet Lo, Senior Project Manager, Transportation Services Division to seek input on the work underway to develop a micromobility strategy for a report back to Council in May 2024. Micromobility describes small, low-speed vehicles that are lighter weight than cars and can include bicycles, cargo bikes/trikes, folding bikes, electric two, three, or four-wheeled cycles, electric mini-cars that can carry two people, e-mopeds, and electric kick-scooters (e-scooters).
