Acting Supt. Matt Moyer emphasized the urgency of their campaign, stating, 'You can't drive along the road at excessive speeds, go up on the sidewalk, cut people off ... parking and leaving your vehicles everywhere, going through red lights, so on, so forth. We're just seeing too much of it.' He highlighted the serious safety concerns as a rising number of incidents have put the public at risk.
Moyer also pointed out the statistics related to micromobility vehicle accidents, revealing that 'Year to date, 16 people have been killed or seriously injured while using a micromobility vehicle.' This alarming data underscores the need for action to improve safety on city roads.
Ashley Milton, a victim of an e-scooter accident, underscored the necessity for proper regulations, saying, 'I'd like them to take into account that sidewalks are actually made for people, not for motorized vehicles.' Her call for change highlights the ongoing conflict between pedestrian safety and the growing use of e-vehicles.
Caryma Sa'd, a lawyer and e-scooter user, expressed support for the crackdown but advocated for better regulation: 'I want to see the city adopt regulations that make the popular, growing use of e-scooters legal and standardized.' This reflects the need for a balanced approach between safety and accessibility.
