The city of Jackson is set to introduce e-scooters as a new mode of transportation downtown, following a unanimous decision by the Jackson City Council to amend the city's ordinance.

The initiative, spearheaded by Councilman Freddie Dancy, is part of a broader effort to revitalize downtown Jackson and attract more visitors.

The introduction of e-scooters is expected to begin in the summer of 2025, pending final agreements and preparations.
