Lincoln Transportation and Utilities is inviting residents to attend a ScooterLNK Safety Education Event Saturday, October 15 on North Seventh Street between “R” and “Q” streets.
The free event runs from 8 a.m. to noon and will outline safety and operating rules for Lime electric scooters. Lime will also offer free rides and give away helmets to participants.
The 16-month ScooterLNK pilot program, which ran from September 2020 to December 2021, saw more than 91,000 trips taken on electric scooters. More than 25,000 unique users participated in the pilot program.
The operating area for ScooterLNK has expanded to an area bordered roughly by Huntington Avenue to the north, South Street to the south, North 48th Street to the east and Southwest Second Street to the west. ScooterLNK’s operating hours have been extended by two hours and are now from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week. Electric scooters will continue to not operate during Husker home football games.
Two electric scooter vendors will be operating in Lincoln, Lime and Veo. Click here for more details, including operation guidelines and parking areas for scooters
