Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Transportation Coordination Center (UKOME) has taken new decisions regarding the use, control and authorization principles of electric scooters, one of the new generation transportation vehicles. As a result of the applications made in the past months by companies that have received authorization certificates for electric scooters, a total of 8 thousand 5 scooters were allowed to be used in 169 districts. In about 2 weeks, scooters will be started to be used by the citizens of the capital in 8 districts.
The electric scooter, the new generation transportation vehicle, which is used in European countries increasing day by day and which is preferred because it reduces carbon emissions with the use of motor vehicles, is also becoming widespread in Başkent.
Ankara Metropolitan Municipality also allowed the use of electric scooters throughout the city in line with the regulation published in the Official Gazette on April 14, 2021 and the decision taken by the Transportation Coordination Center (UKOME) on September 8, 2021.
As a result of the evaluation made among the companies that applied to the Metropolitan Municipality Transportation Department with their authorization certificate and petitions, 8 thousand 5 scooters were granted to 5 companies in all 169 districts.
PEOPLE OF BAŞKENT WILL BE ABLE TO USE SCOOTER IN 2 DISTRICTS IN APPROXIMATELY 8 WEEKS
According to the decision taken within the scope of the "Electric Scooter Regulation", the companies that received the authorization certificate from the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure reported the number of scooters to be used in the districts to the Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Transportation Department.
The Department of Transportation, which examined the company lists and numbers, determined the number of districts and scooters, taking into account the negative effects that may occur in case the number of scooters is high in some districts. After the publication of the UKOME decision, the scooters will start to serve at the end of the 45-day legal period. Capital residents will be able to use a total of 2 thousand 8 scooters belonging to 5 companies in 5 districts in approximately 169 weeks on the streets of Ankara as a means of transportation.
