Pennsylvania SB1009 regulates shared low-speed electric scooters, setting operational rules, safety measures, and penalties for violations.

Pennsylvania SB1009 amends Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to regulate shared low-speed electric scooters. The bill allows authorized municipalities to establish programs for these scooters, imposing fines for non-compliance and requiring insurance coverage. It sets operational rules, including speed limits, areas where scooters can be used, and lighting requirements for nighttime use. The Department of Transportation oversees these programs, with the authority to restrict access to highways if safety issues arise.
