Local Police Declare War on E-Scooters This Summer

Rental scooters without licenses, riders using sidewalks, two people on one scooter… and a wave of traffic violations this summer from users treating scooters like casual transport and leaving them parked anywhere

That’s why local police in many coastal towns — where their use is booming — have decided to take action

They’re removing any scooters that:

don’t have a rental license

are improperly parked

are involved in infractions

If the rider is a non-resident, they must pay the fine to get the scooter back
