Hartford’s LINK Scooters top over 17,000 rides within first month since its introduction to the capital city

Two-hundred-and-fifty silver and bright yellow scooters have taken over Hartford, providing everything from a fun ride around city limits in the warming summer weather, to a means of free transportation to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Since its downtown debut April 22, 150 additional scooters were dispatched all around Hartford from the North to the South end, and every spot in between, last Thursday.
