<p>Safety will always be a top priority as we consider options for regulating e-scooters.
The Department is drawing on the helpful work of the Parliamentary Advisory Council
for Transport Safety, Warwick Manufacturing Group and groups representing blind and
visually impaired people. No final decisions have been made and the Department will
consult publicly before any new arrangements come into force.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside
the national evaluation of the e-scooter trials, we are continuing to gather wider
evidence on the safety of e-scooters, including through DfT official statistics (such
as STATS19), social behavioural research, as well as by following research conducted
by external bodies. The findings report from the evaluation, and underlying datasets,
will be published in due course.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p>
