Experience in other jurisdictions showing a positive track record with similar programs.
Safety, such as educational programs for scooter riders or motorists aimed at reducing injury rates.
Equity, such as programs aimed at increasing mobility for people with low incomes, disabilities, or receiving social assistance, or job-training programs for unemployed and under-employed people.

Risk Analysis:
Risks associated with the pilot program include:
Financial Risk:
In order for this pilot program to be successful, additional signage and/or storage locations may be required. It is anticipated that the Administrative Fee and/or the amount charged for penalties/violations of the agreement will be sufficient to cover the capital and operations costs associated with the pilot program. However, there is a slight risk that it is the funds collected from the operator(s) will not cover all costs. Costs above what is collected from the operator will be tracked and reported to Council.
