Learn to Safely Use a Shared E-Scooter in Montgomery County

The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is sponsoring four free clinics for residents interested in learning to safely use an e-scooter. The clinics provide participants with the opportunity to take an e-scooter for a test ride. Safety tips and a review of basic scooter laws will also be covered.

Participants must be 18 years and older and have a valid driver’s license. Registration is not required to attend a clinic.

The clinics generally will last about two hours with e-scooters available at each site. Those interested in e-scooters can stop in at any time during the two-hour clinics.
