Free Electric Scooter Trainings and Safety Clinics for Those 18-and-Older Will Be Available in October and November

Residents 18-and-older who are interested in electric scooter lessons will have the opportunity to attend free clinics in October and November sponsored by the Montgomery County Department of Transportation.
