This is to serve notice that the Council of the Town of Yarmouth, at its meeting on Thursday, September 14th, 2023, at 6:30 pm, approved the following:
Micromobility Bylaw
Council passed a Micromobility Bylaw to address the use of electric scooters in the Town of Yarmouth. The Motor Vehicle Act has recently undergone a number of amendments that allow RCMP to enforce certain rules around the use of these scooters. However, the Registrar of Motor Vehicles has advised police chiefs that, unless a municipality has a bylaw regulating the use of electric scooters, none of the rules found in the Motor Vehicle Act can be enforced. This bylaw will serve to address this issue and also provide other stipulations around the use of these scooters.
