You see them on every corner of downtown San Antonio. Those dockless scooters. Some people say they’re a nuisance while others say that they’re convenient. The city of San Antonio have approved a series of regulations for those two wheeled rides on Thursday (February 14, 2019).

  • Scooters can only be operated during the hours of 6am till 11pm.
  • Scooter companies will be required to enforce that the scooters will be inoperable outside the approved hours.
  • Scooters will be only parked in permitted areas, those scooters that are in prohibited areas or blocking ADA facilities will be removed without warning.
  • Scooters will be removed to accomodate special events, construction or maintenance work.
  • A cap has been applied and has been limited to 14,000 scooters with permits in the city of San Antonio including rental bikes.
