E-Scooters Could Be Coming Back to Pgh
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
Spin e-scooters were all over Pittsburgh as part of a two-year pilot, and lawmakers could reauthorize them any day — if the Senate can finish the long-overdue state budget. (It’s only 4.5 months late, but who’s counting.) City Cast’s Megan Harris & Sophia Lo talk about the new program, how our lawmakers are feeling, and what one reporter who’s doggedly dug into scooter-related injuries hopes to see from the city in phase two. Ann Belser reported on the potential return of e-scooters for Print and NextPittsburgh, and she’s joined us on the podcast to talk about the end of the initial pilot and her investigation around e-scooter injuries.
