[IABS-Talk] FW: [Caps] There’s Something About Scooters

[Deborah Kent Stein]

Pre-COVID-19 we had a series of discussions around the electric scooter test program in Chicago, sharing our concerns about how scooters might affect blind travelers. Maurice Peret, who chairs the Committee on Automobile and Pedestrian Safety (CAPS) recently shared this article on scooters. Clearly we need to remain aware and involved in the months and years ahead. The resolution on scooters that passed at the 2019 NFB convention is attached.
