E-Scooter Safety Toolbox
Since their introduction in the United States in 2017, the use of electric scooters (e-scooters) has
expanded to the streets and sidewalks of many cities, and all indicators point to continued
growth.
BTSCRP Research Report 9: E-Scooter Safety Toolbox,
from TRB's Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program,
presents findings from a multiyear research
effort that sought to build on existing research to date, identify key gaps in knowledge and data
related to e-scooter behavioral safety, and develop evidence-based guidelines that can enhance the
coordination of behavioral safety programs and countermeasures with a broader toolbox of
approaches to improve safety for all road users.
Supplemental to the report are
BTSCRP Web-Only Document 5: E-Scooter Safety: Issues and Solutions and a
presentation.
