City Council Considering "Indefinite" Moratorium On Electric Scooters In Chattanooga

  • Tuesday, January 14, 2020

The City Council is considering an "indefinite" moratorium on electric scooters in Chattanooga.

Ken Smith, a foe to the new transit form, noted that the six-month hiatus approved by the council last July is expiring.

He said he wanted to act quickly to keep a ban on the scooters that have been welcomed in some cities, but caused multiple issues and some deaths in others.

The council is expected to take some action on the issue next Tuesday.
