Hi. I would like to discuss the topic of requiring scanning a driver's license in order to use a shared rideable. While I understand that it is state law to have a driver's license for motorized scooter, I am less sure if it required for motorized bikes. My concern is that requiring a driver's license vastly limits the amount of people able to use the service. Many people in homeless, disabled, and impoverished communities that we are trying to serve with these devices do not have a driver's license. Is there a way that we can provide shareable devices that do not require a driver's license? If not, can we propose a the ability to receive a special license for using shared rideables rather than a full driver's license? Additionally, if a license is scanned, would this give the ability to charge users rather than operators for improper parking? By using the license information, an individual can be identified and charged the fine if they do not activate the lock-to.
a. Collison Log needs to be amended to include:
• A place to indicate on the log if the device type is accessible or non-accessible.
• More information to be recorded about “third-party involvement”, such as were the individual(s) a pedestrian (PED) or bystander, and do they have a disability.
• A place to indicate if the reported injury was to the member or third-party.
• A place to indicate property damage.
b. Complaints/customer service log are to include the items above.
There is no comprehensive U.S. data on device injuries to members and PEDs, including those with disabilities. Statistics suggest that injuries have increased to members and PEDs as more riders begin using these devices with little or no experience. There is an immediate need for local ordinances to establish public safety laws for these devices in order to guarantee that all PEDs are able to continue to travel safely and independently.
