Howard County Council Considering Electric Scooters In Columbia

HOWARD COUNTY, Md. (WJZ) -- Seeing scooters zip around the streets of Baltimore is normal now.

Soon, Howard County residents may see them, too.

The county council is working on legislation that will allow electric scooters on streets and sidewalks.

This will allow companies to get a permit and that process should start in May.

Officials say scooter companies are interested in operating in downtown Columbia and Gateway Business Park.
