The Municipal Roads and Transportation bylaw does not allow the use of e-scooters in public spaces in the region. RCMP and Bylaw Officers prefer to begin with an education-first enforcement approach when they see illegal e-scooter use but are beginning to issue tickets and/or impounding e-scooters in response to increased illegal and unsafe use. The ticket for operating an e-scooter in a public space is $500.
Public spaces include sidewalks, trails, parks, and streets, and are shared by everyone. Increased education and enforcement on e-scooter bylaws are necessary to help keep these spaces safe, accessible, and enjoyable for all users.
