Full Breakdown

Under Article IX of Chapter 13, anyone operating a share vehicle system (including scooters) in Oklahoma City's rights-of-way must hold a City license capped initially at 250 vehicles per company. Scooters must be parked upright on a hard surface and can never sit within 10 feet of an intersection, in landscape beds, at bus/streetcar/taxi stands, in loading zones, vehicle parking spots, driveways or curb cuts, or in any one spot for more than 24 hours. The City can also impose geo-fencing to block scooters from entering or parking in designated restricted rights-of-way, and operators must relocate a noncompliant scooter within two hours of notice or the City impounds it.

Violations & Fines

City may remove and store noncompliant scooters; operator pays removal fees; unclaimed scooters after 7 days are deemed abandoned and disposed of. License suspension: up to 10 days (1st violation), 30 days (2nd), revocation or up to 90 days (3rd+).
