Assistive mobility devices, such as wheelchairs and mobility scooters, are exempt from the rules and regulations below.

Micromobility is a general term used to describe lightweight human- or electric-powered modes of travel such as e-rollerblades, e-skateboards, e-bicycles, e-scooters and limited-speed motorcycles. These modes of transportation are typically used for shorter trips than by car.

The City of Vaughan recognizes the use of micromobility as a means of transportation while also prioritizing the safety of all residents and visitors who use city sidewalks, trails and roads.

To keep all pedestrians and cyclists safe, micromobility devices – including e-rollerblades, e-skateboards, e-bicycles, e-scooters, Segways, hoverboards and limited-speed motorcycles or mopeds – should not be used on sidewalks, cycle tracks, shared pedestrian and bike paths or recreational trails in the city. 

On Jan. 1, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) launched a five-year pilot to permit Electric Kick Scooters (e-scooters) on roads. The province outlined that it is up to municipalities to pass by-laws to permit the use of e-scooters locally and determine where they can and cannot operate. The City of Vaughan has opted out of the pilot project.
