As Noah Festenstein explains in The Denver Gazette, “Overall, roughly 19.5 million trips with bikes and scooters were recorded since 2021, according to DOTI data, which shows usage has increased year-over-year.”The city’s e-scooter program is the most used in the country.
To better support micromobility and biking in Denver, DOTI is conducting a user survey to understand ridership behaviors and potential safety concerns.
