Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when he plans to publish the interim evaluation of regulated e-scooter trials.

The Department is running trials of rental e-scooters to assess their safety and wider impacts and has in place a monitoring and evaluation programme, commissioned to Arup in partnership with NatCen. This is a mixed-methods impact evaluation drawing from wide range of data sources, including a direct data feed from trial e-scooter operators, survey data with e-scooter users and trial areas residents, and qualitative research with local and national stakeholders. A full set of findings on rental e-scooters from our national evaluation, will be included in our final report due later in 2022.
