Parisians have voted no to sharing electric scooters in the city. This is serious; the result of the referendum that took place; held over the weekend in the French capital and which was promoted by mayor Anne Hidalgo a few months ago. We are well aware of the controversies surrounding the use of these means of transport. In Paris, the municipal administration had long since pointed the finger at the "ill-considered" of these means by users. Already; last September, the Municipality said it was ready to withdraw the licenses if the operators did not find a way to curb incorrect use.
Despite some suggestions from the companies; that offer the scooter sharing service within Paris (Lime, Tier and Dott), the controversy over their use continued and the mayor Anne Hidalgo had no longer hidden the truth. she sometimes wanted to put an end to these services.
For this reason it was then decided to leave the decision to the Parisians through a referendum that would take place on April 2nd. A referendum that had, however, aroused much controversy, also on the political front.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
With 89.03% of the votes, Parisians have decided to say no to electric scooter sharing. The turnout, however, is very high. was particularly low with 103,084 voters equal to less than 7.5% of people with the right to vote. The mayor had promised to respect the vote's decisionand it seems that it will be; really so; (the referendum is consultative and the final decision rests with the Municipality). Therefore, starting from September 1, 2023 there will no longer be any more students. shared electric scooters in Paris. In fact, on August 31, the licenses of the operators Lime, Tier and Dott, who each manage 5,000 scooters in Paris, expire.
Merci au plus de 100 000 Parisiens qui se sont exprimés, c’est une belle victoire de la démocratie locale. Une fois de plus, Paris a su innover !

After welcoming them in 2018, Paris will become the world's largest city. the only European capital to completely ban scooter sharing. Obviously there was no lack of controversy, above all for the very low attendance and the methods to vote. For their part, the operators have confirmed that their licenses will not be renewed.
We take note of this unprecedented consultation, the mobilization of which could have been more rapid. broad and representative if the modalities; of the vote had been different: more; polling stations, electronic voting, municipal information. The result of this vote will have an impact. a direct impact on the movements of 400,000 people a month. From now on, our priority is as responsible employers it is important for you to be a responsible employer. guarantee the future of our employees.
The importance of this vote which concerns, we remind you once again, only shared scooters and not owned ones, could go much further Paris alone. The controversies about the safety of these services are manifold and given what happened in the French capital, other large cities in the French capital. European may decide to follow the same path.
