E-Scooters

The addition of rentable, electric scooters to the city of Ralston will serve as a tremendous benefit to the community. Being a smaller city, electric and combustion vehicles only clog roadways and contribute to pollution. While there is obvious use to a larger and more powerful mode of transportation, it does not appear entirely necessary to rely on them as a sole mode of transportation. While walking the city is also an option that is simultaneously cost-free, some citizens of Ralston who may have difficulties traveling far distances on foot would benefit from another mode of transportation. The introduction of rentable, electric scooters would allow a cleaner, easier, and faster way to navigate the streets of Ralston. Solar-powered charging stations would also allow these vehicles to utilize 100% clean energy; a great benefit to the surrounding natural environment. While there would be a small, time based fee, these funds would go to the maintenance of the scooters and their charging stations. With this proposal, Ralston can hopefully be put on the path to a greener, cleaner, faster future
