My intention is to legislate for e-scooters, in accordance with the Programme for Government. Department officials have drafted the necessary changes to primary legislation as part of the forthcoming Road Traffic and Roads Bill. The Bill has completed pre-legislative scrutiny and is expected to come before the Oireachtas shortly.
When the Bill is enacted, it will give the Minister for Transport powers to make regulations for the use of e-scooters.
