Legalize eScooters in Toronto

City Council has voted against legalizing eScooters in Toronto and opted out of the Provincial pilot program. To change their minds, and their vote, we need your help.

About ScootSafe

We are a grassroots, motley-crew collective of micro-mobility device enthusiasts whose objective is for the city of Toronto to embrace eScooters and join the provincial pilot program for personal/private eScooter use.

Micromobility is now

Micromobility devices, like eScooters, are transformational and have the potential to make a city more accessible, equitable, and available to all. We want Toronto to legalize the use of private eScooters, join the Ontario provincial eScooter Pilot program and collaborate with us to ensure the safe, responsible and diligent adoption of scooters in Toronto.
