The first flock of 80 scooters arrived this week, and another 80 will be in the city soon.
“It’s very important to have a robust set of options that people can use to get around,” said Montgomery Planning Director Robert Smith. “It’s needed because you have to have multiple transportation options to get around. Not just by automobile, but by public transit, by bicycle, and now by e-scooter.”
Officials urge riders never to drop scooters in the middle of sidewalks or streets, which would cause hazards for pedestrians and others. When you are finished riding, scooters must be parked at one of the 170 designated nesting locations. “This will connect the entire community to downtown,” Johnson said. “Someone that may not be able to afford the bus or don’t have time for that bus route, they can jump on a Bird.”
