Sandy, UT Mobility & Curb Rules: Shared E-Scooter Rules (2026)

Sandy City Code § 10-9-5 bars anyone from putting a shared e-scooter into service for hire on city streets without first obtaining a business license under Title 15, and the license is non-transferable and expires each December 31 regardless of when it was issued, subject to annual renewal. Applicants must name a City-based fleet manager, provide a 24/7 public complaint phone line, disclose the number and type of scooters to be deployed, and submit a GPS-based tracking and geofencing plan. The City can deny, suspend or revoke a license for failing to supply required information, operating dangerously, violating any chapter provision, or letting required insurance lapse; a lapsed policy automatically suspends the license until a new certificate is filed.

Insurance minimums are steep: $1,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 aggregate in commercial general liability, $1,000,000 auto coverage, and $5,000,000 umbrella/excess coverage, all naming the City as an additional insured and none satisfiable through self-insurance. Operationally, licensees must deploy no more than ten scooters per grouping, begin with a fleet capped at 200 shared e-scooters, and pull the entire fleet off city rights-of-way during any storm warning, weather advisory, or when snow is on the ground. Every scooter needs a visible ID number and cannot display third-party advertising.

Licensees must share anonymized monthly ride data with the City's Transportation Engineer, covering origin, destination, distance, path and speed, and must respond to maintenance or improper-parking reports within two hours and no later than four.
