No electric scooters permitted on school property
We are seeing an increase in these modes of transportation in the last year with young students. We are concerned about their safety as they travel at high speeds.
Did you know that technically, in Abbotsford, electric-scooters are not allowed in the City of Abbotsford. There is a pilot project in the Province where certain cities (not Abbotsford) are piloting the e-scooters. In the cities that are being piloted the rider has to be 16+ years old, wearing helmets, not on sidewalks, etc.
Electric ATV’s can’t be out and about either. They are only supposed to be used on Private Property only. (We obtained this information from the Abbotsford Police Department).
