City of Gainesville and UF partner to introduce electric scooter rentals

On June 7, the City of Gainesville, in collaboration with UF, launched its new Micromobility Pilot Program, enabling three vendors to deploy a small fleet of electric scooters for rent throughout the city and on UF’s campus. E-scooters are available for rent from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, providing a sustainable option for short-distance trips with low cost-per-minute rental fees.
