Lee and Tisch discuss enforcement of unsafe mobility devices

And the final question is on the unsafe use of mobility devices.

As we know, mobility devices such as e-bikes, scooters, mopeds, they're good.

You could easily move around.

They reduce traffic.

They also reduce air pollution versus, for example, using cars.

But we have seen people use them in an unsafe way.

And, of course, very complex issue.

It could be super difficult to enforce the rules.

You stop them, they could easily take off, and it's difficult to, you know, engage in a high vehicle pursuit.

And also they could obviously move much faster than other cars and enter areas that cars can't enter.

Do you think the reckless use of these items are a problem?

And if yes,

What's the policy on this?

So yes, I think it's a problem and I think that the data bears it out.

I want to be clear that for reckless driving of these smaller mobility devices, we still today

can issue criminal summonses for that, and we continue to issue criminal summonses for reckless use of e-bikes and scooters.

But for other offenses, like for example, speeding or running a red light, things that come just short of

recklessness, we, or the legal definition of recklessness,

we have reverted from issuing C summonses to issuing B summonses based on conversations with City Hall.

All right.

Thank you for the information.

I know my colleagues have a second round of questions, so I'll pause here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay.
