The Montgomery County Department of Transportation is sponsoring four free clinics for residents interested in learning to safely use an e-scooter. The clinics provide participants with the opportunity to take an e-scooter for a test ride. Safety tips and a review of basic scooter laws will also be covered.
Participants must be 18 years and older and have a valid driver’s license. Registration is not required to attend a clinic.
