Question 20655 — urban transport

Summary

Mr. Thomas Rudigoz questions the Minister, alongside the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition, responsible for transport, on the accident history of motorized personal travel devices, including electric scooters. The last two years have seen a considerable increase in the use of these new means of urban transport, causing a sharp increase in the number of accidents. In 2017, we counted 284 injured on electric scooters across the country. In Lyon, between the months of January and April 2019 alone, the emergency medicine department of the Saint Joseph Saint Luc hospital center has already counted 110 public road accidents caused by these modes of travel. In Paris, a 25-year-old young man died while riding an electric scooter and collided with a priority truck. There is therefore no doubt that this new mode of urban transport poses a safety problem for all users of public roads (pedestrians, cyclists, motorists). We must evolve the regulatory framework for the uses of these new possibilities for traveling in the city. A detailed knowledge of the causes and circumstances of accidents resulting from these practices is essential for this. Faced with the need to regulate the use of these new modes of urban transport, he asks her for concrete elements on the accidentology of motorized personal transport vehicles as she committed to doing in the sustainable development and regional planning committee of the National Assembly during the examination at first reading of the mobility orientation law.
