JPP Proposes Municipal Plan for Scooter Safety and Use in Funchal

The JPP party has proposed the creation of a municipal plan to regulate the safety and use of electric scooters in the city of Funchal.

The JPP councilors in Funchal's Municipal Assembly have submitted a proposal to the PSD/CDS majority for a Municipal Action Plan for the Safety and Use of Scooters.

According to JPP, the proliferation of shared electric scooters, while a solution for urban mobility, has led to issues such as disorderly parking, circulation in pedestrian areas, and safety risks.

The proposal includes measures for prevention, awareness, enforcement, public space organization, and coordination with operators, while also questioning legal security and protection for accident victims.
