Sign our petition please | Support our efforts to remove E-Scooters off footpaths |
First of all, a big thank you for your support to remove e-scooters off footpaths. It’s been great – but, we have more to do…
We are coming back to you all again for additional support about the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) | Waka Kotahi’s engagement and whether E-Scooters should be considered a motor vehicle or not. We need you to support our joint petition to remove E-Scooters off footpaths as follows…
Disabled Persons Assembly (DPA), Blind Citizens NZ, and Living Streets Aotearoa are collaborating - we’re calling on NZTA | Waka Kotahi to not renew the declaration that says E-Scooters are not motor vehicles. We believe E-Scooters are motor vehicles – they travel at speed, they injure people and we need to get these dangerous vehicles off our footpaths.
Signing the petition will demonstrate your support and help create safer streets for everyone! It will keep footpaths for pedestrians which includes mobility device users (i.e. wheel chair and mobility scooter users).
Our call to action urges you to support our efforts and to please sign our petition by taking the following link

Please share this opportunity as widely as possible including encouraging family-whānau to support our efforts.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
