BTSCRP-10: E-Scooter Safety - Issues and Solutions

Dr. Sanders was a Co-PI on this Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program (BTSCRP) project, which sought to advance multimodal road safety by identifying safety risks emerging from the growing use of e-scooters and developing comprehensive guidance, tools, policy options, and educational materials to mitigate those risks. Through a comprehensive literature review, practitioner survey, and original research, the project generated concrete guidance for e-scooter management and provide evidence-based strategies and supporting tools for e-scooter safety actions that can be integrated into state and local highway safety plans, policies, programs, and projects.
