E-scooters, along with other micromobility devices, are increasing in popularity worldwide, due to the proliferation of inexpensive rideshares featuring these devices and public demand for small, portable, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly modes of transportation. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding the safety of these devices. Therefore, the UNC Highway Safety Research Center is abstracting information on all e-scooter fatalities reported by the media and other public sources to monitor trends, determine shared risk factors, provide information to the public and the injury prevention community, and prevent future e-scooter fatalities.
