Getting around
Scooters are a fun way to get downtown
Lime scooters are the most accessible—you can access them in the Uber app or get the lime app. If you’re riding downtown be aware of the areas where the sidewalk is restricted. You can still use the bike lane. Also make sure to park in designated areas to avoid fees
