A pilot program to test the viability of permitting privately owned and shared e-scooters and e-bikes in Ajax.
Description
Objectives of this program are to:
Increase access to essential services, programs, and opportunities within Ajax and obtain insight on the implications of a shared e-scooter and e-bike program to an equitable and inclusive transportation system;
Reduce the number of trips done by vehicle within Ajax by providing alternative modes of transportation to residents and people who provide or use services in Ajax;
Assess the risks (frequency, severity) of shared e-scooters and e-bikes on Ajax trails and test risk mitigation measures;
Collaborate with people with disabilities to build a culture of respect for people with disabilities and reduce the risk of conflict between pedestrians with disabilities and people using e-scooters and e-bikes.
