Whether you love or hate the Bird and Lime scooters — and now Lime bikes — that have descended upon Baltimore’s streets this year, the city Department of Transportation wants to hear from you.
The department released a survey on Christmas Eve to collect feedback on the six-month pilot program, which was announced along with the shutdown of the troubled Baltimore Bike Share system in August.
The five-minute Google Docs survey contains more than a dozen questions, including:
- How often have you ridden a rental dockless scooter/bike?
- Do you wear a helmet when riding a scooter?
- Do you predominantly ride on sidewalk or street?
- Have you personally experienced a crash involving a scooter?
- How would you improve the shared scooter/bike service?
Most are optional; the survey requires answers to only your age range, whether you’ve ridden a dockless scooter or bike, and your email address.
The survey also instructs: “If you have specific recommendations to improve this program in your community, we encourage you to speak with your neighborhood association or email dot-community@baltimorecity.gov.”
