The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a plan that would, for now, halt their operations in neighborhoods that are home to more than 1 million county residents.

The plan would ask companies not to deploy the scooters until rules for their use, safety and distribution are established — although the county hasn’t crafted any penalties to impose if the companies don’t comply.

“The county has an obligation, especially in the unincorporated areas, to protect the taxpayers,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose Fifth District includes many unincorporated residents in central and northern sections of the county.


Use of motorized scooters, which can be rented with a smartphone app, has exploded across California in the last year, as Bird, Lime and Jump and other companies have deposited them in Santa Monica, Venice and other neighborhoods and cities across Los Angeles.

Their appearance prompted residents to “bombard” Barger’s office with complaints, she said, and raised concerns about whether there was a potential liability for the county to motorists on an unregulated road.

Now county officials are following other cities in trying to control the scooters.
