Atlanta regulates shared e-scooters and dockless e-bikes through Ord. 19-O-1294, requiring operator permits, geofenced speed limits, and an overnight curfew banning ridership from 9 PM to 4 AM citywide.
After a series of fatal scooter crashes, Atlanta City Council passed Ord. 19-O-1294 establishing one of the strictest dockless mobility frameworks in the Southeast. Operators must obtain a city permit, cap fleet size, share trip data, deploy in equity zones, and enforce a 9 PM to 4 AM no-ride overnight curfew. Scooters are banned from sidewalks in business districts and on the Beltline trails during peak hours. Riders must be 16 or older, follow Georgia's general traffic rules, and yield to pedestrians. The Department of Transportation manages permitting and can suspend operators for repeated rider violations or safety failures.
Riders can be fined for sidewalk riding, riding without a helmet under 16, or riding during the 9 PM-4 AM curfew; operators face permit suspension and per-scooter penalties for noncompliance.
