Culver City Releases Survey to Collect Public Opinion on Electric Scooter Share

Culver City, California - In an effort to improve mobility and decrease carbon emissions around Culver City, the City Council decided on July 9^th, 2018, to allow two dockless electric stand-up scooter companies -- Bird and Lime -- to place their scooters in Culver City for an 11-month test period. Culver City is now studying the best way to address electric scooter (e-scooter) share as a new transportation model.

The City is conducting a survey that collects public feedback of e-scooter share and the Culver City e-scooter share pilot program. Public input will help inform the City on its scooter share program, and the aggregated results will be shared with the City Council and the community.

Take the survey by visiting the survey website. Residents may also obtain a hard copy from Culver City Senior Center (4095 Overland Ave).

Survey feedback must be submitted electronically or to the Senior Center by Friday, May 24^th, 2019.

For more information about the e-scooter share program in Culver City, please visit our scooter website.
