Switching to more sustainable modes of transportation at a societal level requires solutions for travelling the first and last mile. This is where e-scooters and e-bikes come in.

“Tackling safety issues requires solving complex problems and TIRF’s ability to provide forums to connect government, business, industry, traffic safety agencies, and non-profit organizations helps to identify bold and multi faceted solutions to some of our most persistent road safety issues. The ability to bring together stakeholders in road safety provides an opportunity for collaboration and connection that would otherwise not exist.”
