Are Electric Scooters Legal in Tallahassee?

Tallahassee’s permanent Shared Micromobility Program keeps two permitted vendors on the street around the clock, capped at 750 scooters each, with a 15 mph default speed and 6 mph geofenced slow zones through Cascades Park and Lake Ella. City data shows 74,552 trips in 2024 (peaking at 7,814 rides in October), reinforcing why the program mirrors Florida’s bicycle rules—scooters may use streets, bike lanes, and even sidewalks when yielding to people walking. Operators must also geofence Florida State, FAMU, and TCC campuses; enforcement includes confiscating scooters that stray onto campus until software fixes are in place, so riders should stay off school property.
