The proposal outlines licensing guidelines for those providing paid e-scooter services, offered in other cities by companies like Lime or Spin.

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. This amendment allows e-scooters to be used on city streets and sidewalks, aiming to enhance mobility and provide an eco-friendly transport option. The initiative, spearheaded by Councilman Freddie Dancy, is part of a broader effort to revitalize downtown Jackson and attract more visitors. The city plans to collaborate with a third-party vendor to manage the e-scooter program, ensuring proper distribution and maintenance. The introduction of e-scooters is expected to begin in the summer of 2025, pending final agreements and preparations.
