Having recently written about multimodal transportation in
Washington, DC (here) and dockless bikes and scooters (here), I have to provide
an update about where the Venn diagram overlaps!
On a recent walk through Georgetown, I noticed a large
number of dockless bikes, scooters, and electric bikes, both in motion and
parked (see photos below) in this popular shopping and tourist destination. The District government has just extended
its trial “Dockless Demonstration Program” which permits 7 companies to provide
limited service. The trial program
was extended after the District and the providers were unable to reach an
agreement about how a permanent program might be regulated (Washington Post story here, Greater
Greater Washington here).
As suggested in my previous story, stay tuned for more
developments!
