Bird, Lime, Spin and JUMP riders in Tampa are now free to ride on the city streets and bike lanes.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has signed CS/HBl 453, Micromobility Devices, allowing e-scooters to be treated as bikes, but allows the county or municipality to regulate the operation of micromobility devices. The city right now allows up to 2400 e-scooters between the the four vendors.
Riders need to be aware that e-scooters are still restricted on the Tampa Riverwalk, Bayshore Boulevard and East Seventh Street in Ybor City.
Now Tampa just needs to see if the Rays are going to become part time residents.
