Salt Lake City residents can expect to see dockless e-scooters on the streets again, now that the company that dropped them there at the end of last month — without notice and without adhering with city code — has signed a temporary operating agreement and obtained a business license.
Bird took its scooters off the streets once the city notified the company it was out of compliance. Since then, the city has scrambled to draft an operating agreement that would create licensing requirements, safety regulations, and limits on how many dockless scooters and bikes can be scattered around.
