E-scooters are changing urban travel with a flexible, affordable way to get around — but they still require care & responsibility.

Ride predictably. Wear a helmet. Slow down near pedestrians & intersections. Stay alert & visible.

Safe riding keeps streets safer for everyone.

[Ottawa Safety Council @SafetyOttawa]

A child riding an e-scooter at 30 km/h isn’t the same as a child on a kick scooter.

Today’s e-scooters can reach motor-vehicle speeds, yet many youth ride without helmets or understanding traffic risks. Hospitals are seeing more serious injuries.

Speed matters. Helmets matter.
