Saskatoon residents invited to weigh in on shared electric scooter (e-scooter) program
August 29, 2022 - 8:03am
After considering feedback from meetings with various stakeholder groups, early public feedback, and consultation with other municipalities who have explored or implemented similar programs in their city, a draft shared e-scooter framework is now available for public feedback.
The framework will be instrumental in how the City moves forward as it considers inviting shared e-scooter vendors to operate in Saskatoon for a 2-year pilot project.
City staff are inviting residents to join us for a pop-up engagement at the River Landing Amphitheatre on September 8 from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to explain the draft framework, proposed pilot project and what is envisioned for a shared e-scooter program in Saskatoon.
Additionally, the Government of Saskatchewan is considering legislative changes to allow e-scooters to operate on public streets. Some of the changes being considered are a minimum age to ride between 14-16 years old, mandatory helmets for riders, and a maximum speed of between 20 and 32 km/h.
A standing e-scooter is a micro-mobility vehicle powered by a small electric motor. These devices do not have a seat or pedals, and the rider stands on a center floorboard to balance. Many cities in North America have shared e-scooter programs as the popularity of this mode of transportation is growing.
Review the framework and provide your feedback at saskatoon.ca/escooter by September 29, 2022.

The SECP study area includes lands that in the RM south of Saskatoon between Highways 11 and 16, as well as land within the Grasswood area west of Highway 11. Both future rural and urban growth areas are proposed for the study area, identifying where additional development is expected in the short term, interim and long term, as the region reaches a projected population of 1 million. The partnering municipalities are working with the consulting firm Urban Systems Ltd. to complete the planning, engagement and engineering work required for the SECP, and anticipate the project will be completed in the fall of 2022.
Urban Systems will host a virtual project update and provide the opportunity to ask questions and offer feedback as the project team finalizes their work. The purpose of this engagement is to provide an opportunity for landowners, rights holders, stakeholders and the public to review the draft SECP and provide their feedback. The following topics will be covered:
This is an important project for rights holders, landowners and stakeholders within the SECP study area. This virtual open house will provide access to project information and provide opportunity to gather feedback. on the project
