Four thousand electric scooters — 1,000 of them integrated into the downtown Divvy bike-sharing system — will hit the streets next month and take their place as a permanent part of Chicago’s transportation system.
All four licensees must also use “lock-to” scooters, designed to be locked to something — a tree or street sign, for example — between rentals. During pilot programs, some complained about scooters being left in the middle of sidewalks.
“Geo-fencing works. If it’s not put in the appropriate place, you will be charged more, to really ramp up the incentive for people to put them back in the appropriate place.” “There’s gonna always be a certain percentage of people who disagree with it. We’ve just got to figure that into the equation and try and make it the best that we can.”
“There’s a lot of pedestrian-vehicle conflict. Now, there’s pedestrian-bike conflict. Pedestrian-scooter conflict. Pedestrians seem to be at the bottom of the transportation food chain. They’re the most vulnerable. The most likely to be injured by someone operating in an unsafe manner. And this adds to it.”
