E-Scooters
Electric scooters (e-scooters) are a relatively new addition to Eugene’s transportation landscape. They provide a more cost-effective, environmentally forgiving transportation option to traditional car use. Using an e-scooter to complete daily trips, such as to places of work or education, is a great way to help the City meet its goals for reducing community fossil use and greenhouse emissions. They also help to connect people to services and opportunities by removing certain barriers to transportation, such as the need for a drivers license, registration, and insurance.

Ride Sharing
