​​​BRAMPTON, ON – Today, the City of Brampton launches the fourth season of its Shared E-scooter Pilot Program, giving residents and visitors a convenient, sustainable way to get around while helping reduce car use, ease congestion and support local tourism.

The program supports Brampton’s vision of a more connected, environmentally friendly city. ​

New for 2026: designated parking areas

To reduce sidewalk obstructions, improve accessibility and enhance safety for all road users, a city-wide designated parking model is being introduced for the 2026 season. Riders must start and end trips in designated parking areas shown in each operator’s app. ​

Program reminders

E-scooters can be used on roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or less, bike lanes and multi-use paths, but are not permitted on sidewalks. E-scooters are designed so that their speeds are limited to a maximum of 20 km/h, except in high-pedestrian areas where their maximum speed is reduced to 15 km/h. 

Residents are encouraged to:

• Follow traffic rules and ride responsibly 
• Park in designated locations only
• Use operator apps to find approved parking
