Brampton residents can again hop on an E-scooter to get around town.<\/p>\n

The city today (April 1) launched the fourth season of its shared E-scooter pilot program that is meant to give residents and visitors a sustainable way to get around while helping reduce car use, ease congestion, and support local tourism.<\/p>\n

This year, to reduce sidewalk obstructions, improve accessibility and enhance safety for all road users, a city-wide designated parking model has been introduced. Riders must start and end trips in designated parking areas shown in each operator\u2019s app.<\/p>\n

E-scooters can be used on roads with speed limits of 50 km\/h or less, bike lanes and multi-use paths, but are not permitted on sidewalks. E-scooters are designed so that their speeds are limited to a maximum of 20 km\/h, except in high-pedestrian areas where their maximum speed is reduced to 15 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Introduced in 2023, the E-scooter program aims to expand sustainable travel options and supports Brampton\u2019s vision of a more connected, environmentally friendly city.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pilot demonstrates how the city can support greener, healthier and safer ways for the community to travel locally,\u201d according to information supplied by the city.<\/p>\n

Some facts from the 2025 program show there were 32,141 users who made 96,500 trips and that an estimated greenhouse gas savings of 4 to 6 tonnes of CO\u2082 equivalent was achieved.<\/p>\n
