As part of Mississauga’s shared micro-mobility program, e‑scooters have returned this spring as an additional mode of transportation along with e-bikes. E‑scooters provide another way for residents and visitors, 16 and older, to move around the city, especially for short trips. These devices can make it easier to connect to transit, travel to work or school, or complete everyday errands without a car.
The shared e-bike and e-scooter program is contracted through Lime Technology Inc. and Bird Canada. The e-bike program operates year-round, while e-scooters retire for the winter months and return in the spring.
Every mode of transportation carries a shared responsibility, with safety remaining the top priority. Feedback from Council discussions, health partners, operators and community members continue to help refine the program and inform how the City manages and monitors it.
As the City continues with the provision of shared e-scooters, City staff are working with both Lime Technology Inc. and Bird Canada to strengthen messaging and education of proper use of e-scooters, and work collaboratively with our partners including Peel Regional Police to build awareness.
