Denver Reviews Veo Scooter Contract Amid Sidewalk Riding Concerns
Denver City Council is reviewing its contract with Veo, the city's exclusive micromobility operator, due to ongoing issues with illegal sidewalk riding of electric scooters. Despite a new ordinance requiring sidewalk-detection technology, scooters continue to be ridden on sidewalks, prompting complaints from residents. Councilman Chris Hinds has requested a contract review by the City Attorney’s Office, citing potential non-compliance by Veo. The company claims it is implementing the required technology, but issues persist. Veo plans to enhance enforcement measures, including user warnings and account suspensions for repeated violations.
