Electric scooters, or "e-scooters", are now permitted to operate in Downtown LA. These include Lime, Bird, Spin, and others. In order to ride, you must download the company's app to your phone. Riding on sidewalks is not permitted, and safe riding is strongly encouraged. There are several suggested "parking zones" throughout DTLA, but you are not required to drop off your scooter in these locations.

Mass transit not your thing? Hail a taxi! When you board, look for the official City of LA Taxicab Seal. Taxicabs bearing this seal are insured, have trained drivers, and are regularly inspected by the City of LA.
