A one-year pilot program that sets a cap on how many dockless electric scooters each company can operate in the City of Los Angeles was approved unanimously by all 13 city council members on Sep. 4.
Starting within 120 days after the Tuesday meeting, the program limits each company to deploy no more than 3,000 devices across the city. However, each operator is allowed to put an extra 2,500 scooters in disadvantaged communities and another 5,000 devices in low-income communities in the San Fernando Valley.
