Chattanooga City Council has officially passed an ordinance temporarily banning electric scooters in the Scenic City.
Council members passed the second and final reading of the ordinance Tuesday night.
The moratorium bans electric scooters in the city for six months, giving city leaders time to address safety concerns surrounding the scooters.
The decision comes after a scooter-related death prompted Nashville’s mayor to announce his intention to ban scooters city-wide in June.
26-year-old Brady Gaulke was riding an electric scooter in Nashville in May when he was hit and killed by an SUV.
