Requires local community review and approval prior to the implementation of electric scooter programs and installation of electric scooter infrastructure in cities with a population of one million or more.

New York Senate Bill S07747 requires that before any electric scooter programs or infrastructure are introduced in cities with populations over one million, local community boards must review and approve the plans. This ensures that community input is considered prior to implementation.

Supporters argue that the bill empowers local communities by involving them in decisions about electric scooter programs, ensuring that such initiatives align with neighborhood needs and preferences.

Critics contend that the bill could slow down the adoption of electric scooter programs, potentially hindering efforts to provide alternative transportation options and reduce urban congestion.
