Prince George City Council took the next steps in participating in the province’s Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project.
At this week’s meeting, City Council gave the firs three readings to amend the City’s Highways Bylaw to acknowledge the province’s new regulation of “e-scooter” under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The purpose of the project is to research, test, and evaluate the safety and efficiency of e-scooters, with the goals of reducing carbon emissions and encouraging greater use of alternative and sustainable transportation modes.
Data collected under this program will help determine how e-kick scooters are addressed under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The current program is running until April 2028.
