Rental Scooters

A federal court in California preliminarily approved a settlement between the city of Oakland and a class that claimed the city allowed rental scooters to block sidewalks and driveways.

Tired of San Francisco streets being used as a testing ground for the latest delivery technology and transportation apps, city leaders are considering requiring businesses to get permits before trying out new high-tech ideas in public. Supporters of the legislation, which the Board of Supervisors will take up Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2019, say it would be the first of its kind in the U.S. They say it's long overdue in a city that's a hub for major tech companies but is more accustomed to reacting to the sudden arrival of new technology, such as when hundreds of dockless electric scooters appeared overnight last year.
