Residents of Paris have voted in favor of banning rental electric scooters from the French capital
Almost 90% of those who turned out on Sunday for a referendum organized by the Paris mayor’s office voted for the ban. The turnout was very low, however, with only 7.46% of registered voters casting their ballots in one of the 203 polling stations opened for the occasion. “On September 1, there will be no more rental scooters in Paris. … This is a victory for local democracy,” Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo said at a press conference over the weekend.
Bike lanes, subsidized e-bike rentals, improved public transportation and e-scooter rentals have all been part of that campaign. Between mid-2012 and mid-2022, the most recent year for which data is available, there was a 33% drop in traffic on Paris’ roads, according to the city hall.
