Micromobility Bylaw
The purpose of this bylaw is 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 has been developed to address this issue, and also provide other stipulations around the use of these scooters.
More information can be found in the minutes of the August 10th council meeting at Agendas, Minutes & Livestream.
