San Marcos hopes expanded scooter pilot program can benefit underserved communities

SAN MARCOS, Texas (KXAN) – The City of San Marcos recently expanded its electric scooter pilot program to serve more of the city at all hours of the day. 

The city approved its first iteration of the pilot program in 2020 after considering a ban in 2019. One hope of expanding the pilot program was providing more affordable transportation options to folks living in San Marcos. For now, the micro-mobility company Spin is the only business eligible to deploy dockless devices within the city.
