Electric kick scooter safety toolkit

The Ministry of Transportation and Transit has developed a new public education toolkit for the BC Electric Kick Scooter Pilot Project. The toolkit includes posters and brochures to support safe ridership and knowledge of the rules for using an electric kick scooter. The pilot project - now in its third year - allows participating communities to provide data that will help determine whether to permanently regulate these devices. Municipalities interested in joining or learning more can contact the Ministry.
