Ford ignored serious safety and accessibility concerns, documented by Ontarians with disabilities, by allowing dangerously fast e-scooters on roads, sidewalks and other places. E-scooters will be unforeseeable new barriers blocking the accessibility of public spaces for people with disabilities. Yet rental e-scooters, strewn in public places, do the opposite for people with disabilities. Ford appears to have bowed to e-scooter rental companies. E-scooter rental companies should be liable for injuries caused by e-scooters and there should be caps on the number of e-scooters.
