Saint Paul licenses dockless e-scooter vendors under a city pilot, requiring permits, geofencing on Mississippi River parkways, and parking corrals downtown to keep sidewalks clear and accessible.
Public Works administers the shared mobility licensing program, capping scooter fleets per vendor and requiring data sharing, low-income access plans, and ADA-compliant parking. Riders must obey state law: helmets recommended, no riding on most downtown sidewalks, max 15 mph, and one rider per device. Geofencing slows scooters near Como Park, the Mississippi River boulevards, and during major events at Xcel Energy Center. Improperly parked devices can be impounded, with vendors fined per incident.
Riders may be cited for sidewalk riding, intoxicated operation, or riding in restricted parks, typically as petty misdemeanors. Vendors face per-scooter penalties for blocking sidewalks or violating data-sharing terms.
