[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are scooter riders up? Because I never rode a bike around DC, but the last 3 years I've taken up scootering. [/quote]

Hard to say. Scooters aren't really an option in any commuting survey. Eventually they will be, but aren't currently. Until then you have provider data and some small scale stuff. [/quote]
Weird. Whenever I take one downtown for a doctor's appointment, there are tons of scooters in the bike lanes on 15th and L and surrounding areas with what look like commuters.[/quote]

Yes, lots of people use them in urban areas. But you can't fill out your ACS, or MWCOG survey and mark "scooter" as your primary commute mode. Right now, you have to put "other" and maybe you get a write-in. As more people use them, and more people want to know how many are out there, you'll slowly see surveys make an option for them. In the meantime you just have to use your eyes and memory to say "a heck of a lot more today, than back in 2016." [/quote]

You mark the box the says "loser"[/quote]
