Maui County, HI Mobility & Curb Rules: Shared E-Scooter Rules (2026)

Chapter 10.73, Dockless Vehicles, added by Ordinance No. 5453 in 2022, is a flat prohibition rather than a regulatory permit scheme. Section 10.73.010 makes it unlawful to offer for use or rent, or to rent, a dockless vehicle at all, meaning a company cannot legally launch a scooter-share or e-bike-share fleet under Maui's own code regardless of any operating agreement. Section 10.73.020 separately bars anyone from parking, leaving standing, leaving lying, abandoning, or otherwise placing a dockless vehicle on a sidewalk, street, highway, or other public property, and authorizes the police department to remove any dockless vehicle found in violation using the same removal procedure the code already uses for abandoned vehicles under section 10.48.210.

Section 10.73.030 further bars operating a dockless vehicle on a sidewalk. Because the rental prohibition in 10.73.010 already forecloses a lawful shared-scooter program, sections 10.73.020 and 10.73.030 function mainly against scooters or e-bikes brought in from outside the County or operated in defiance of the rental ban. There is no exception written into the chapter for a County-permitted pilot program.
