An e-scooter sharing system pilot program may be headed to Bellingham soon. Hear all about it in this interview with Christine Grant from the Downtown Bellingham Partnership and head to their e-scooter demo on Thursday, September 26, 2019, to learn more. Christine Grant told Tessa the program won’t cost taxpayers any money and it would work well to support downtown businesses.
E-scooter sharing systems are already in place in hundreds of cities across the world. They have been controversial in some other cities due to concerns about safety, liability and a lack of regulation.
