Lime and Spin Host Adaptive Scooter Event in Golden Gate Park with SFMTA Support
By

We are proud to support Lime and Spin as the companies host a dedicated adaptive scooter event in front of Peacock Meadow in Golden Gate Park on Oct. 17 from 2:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m. The initiative is another step toward ensuring a more inclusive and accessible transportation ecosystem for San Francisco's residents and visitors.

Adaptive scooters, equipped with features such as wider bases, seating and additional wheels, are designed to cater to riders with various mobility needs. They may be particularly useful to those who find traditional scooters challenging to ride. 

People will have the chance to get hands-on experience with a range of adaptive scooters from both Lime and Spin at this event. There are expected to be at least 10 vehicles for riders to test out and provide feedback.

San Francisco users of the Spin app will receive notifications about the event through in-app banners and pop-up messages, while Lime notified its users by email. 

In a previous collaboration with AccessSFUSD, students and staff enthusiastically test-rode adaptive scooters in Golden Gate Park. Their invaluable feedback has significantly influenced the design and functionalities of these scooters. 

The Adaptive Scooter Program formally began in 2020. The SFMTA now requires all scooter operators to ensure that adaptive scooters represent at least 5% of their on-street fleet. The permittees also offer different types of adaptive devices through their Complementary Adaptive Programs, which provide longer-term adaptive rentals free of charge through scheduled drop-off and pick-up. Anyone who is interested in trying an adaptive scooter can learn more on our Adaptive Scooter Program page.  

This upcoming event exemplifies our commitment with Lime and Spin to create and support an inclusive transportation landscape in San Francisco. All are welcome to come experience this event focused on equitable urban mobility firsthand.

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone

Help Make Muni Safe for Everyone By Mariana Maguire New Muni “no harassment” symbol The safety of our customers and staff is a top priority for the SFMTA. That is why we are launching MuniSafe – a campaign to increase reporting of gender-based harassment through recently expanded incident reporting options. If you experience or witness an incident, help us make MuniSafe by reporting it using the Muni Feedback form at SFMTA.com/MuniFeedback, the 311 mobile app or by calling 311. Non-English speakers should call 311 for language-assisted reporting. Gender-based harassment takes many forms, affects many people and is absolutely not tolerated on Muni. Survivors should report incidents to the San Francisco Police Department if they feel comfortable doing so. By also reporting incidents directly to the SFMTA, you will help us track events that occur in our system so we can build better safety responses and direct resources to reduce gender-based harassment. New car cards that will be...
