FOR NOW, ELECTRIC SCOOTERS ARE BANNED IN SANTA FE. ACCORDING TO THE NEW MEXICAN, THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR ALAN WEBBER HAVE APPROVED A MEASURE PROHIBITING THE USE OF RENTED E-SCOOTERS ON SIDEWALKS AND OTHER PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY. BUT, AT THE SAME TIME, THE CITY MANAGER HAS BEEN ASKED TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF E-SCOOTERS…AND RECOMMEND WHETHER A PILOT PROGRAM SHOULD BE DEVELOPED LATER. IN ALBUQUERQUE, THE CITY COUNCIL HAS AUTHORIZED THE USE OF E-SCOOTERS, BUT SO FAR CITY HALL HAS NOT COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH ANY RENTAL COMPANY.
