E-Scooters
The Town has partnered with Bird Canada to offer a micromobility program in Stony Plain using shared electric scooters. Electric scooters (e-scooters) are motorized, two-wheeled scooters with a platform on which the rider stands. They are propelled by a battery-powered electric motor and the rider controls the throttle, steering, and brakes. E-scooters are permitted on multi-use paths in Stony Plain. E-scooters can also go on sidewalks, but not on roads. There are specific “no go” areas of the community where e-scooters are not permitted.
Sidewalks and multi-use trails are shared spaces that are used by people of all ages and abilities for commuting, exercise, leisure, and more. To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone, e-scooter users must ride in a safe and respectful manner. Remember:
- Slow and steady: Slow down in crowded areas and when passing pedestrians or other trail/sidewalk users.
- Be aware: Pay attention to who and what is around you. Watch out for entrances/exits to driveways and parking lots and follow all traffic controls.
- Stay to the right, pass on the left: Use the right side of the sidewalk or trail to leave space for others.
- Make space: Slow down and move to the side on narrow or busy sidewalks/trails.
- Be heard: When passing people, use your voice, a horn or a bell to alert others.
- Be seen: Make sure your e-scooter's headlight and taillight are functioning properly. If not, report it to Bird Canada using the app, or by phone at 1-866-205-2442.
- Don't block the path: Step off the trail when stopping. When parking, leave your e-scooter on the grass or in an area where it's not blocking trails, sidewalks, or roads.
Download the Bird Canada app on the Apple App Store or Google Play to get started. Refer to the Rental Policy on the Bird Canada website for more details.
Any responsible person aged 16 or above with an app-enabled smartphone and a credit card.
What safety measures are in place for users and pedestrians?
The Town has taken several safety precautions to keep e-scooter users and pedestrians safe, including:
- Limiting operation to trails and sidewalks
- Identifying "no go zones", "slow zones", and "no parking" zones
- Limiting access to users age 16+
In addition, e-scooters are equipped with several safety features, including:
- Front and rear lights
- Automatic speed limit caps
- Throttle-brake interlock (protects against accidentally holding the throttle)
- E-scooter Dynamic Stability Control Steering (stabilizes out-of-control, sudden or erratic movements and guards against unsafe turns or over corrections)
- Skid detection technology (prevents improper riding behaviour)
What about privately owned e-scooters?
Under the Alberta Traffic Safety Act, e-scooters are not permitted on public roadways, trails, sidewalks or pathways. Bird Canada has applied for, and received an exemption under the Act, and is therefore permitted to operate a shared e-scooter program in Stony Plain.
How much does an e-scooter program cost?
There is no cost to the Town or taxpayers. Bird Canada is responsible for providing the e-scooters and overseeing, funding, and operating the program. The Town supports the program by sharing information and monitoring use of the e-scooters.
Who do I contact with a question or concern?
- To report a collision or incident involving an e-scooter that requires police or ambulance attendance, call 911.
- To report someone using an e-scooter to cause a disturbance or riding in a reckless or unsafe manner, contact Stony Plain Enforcement Services at 780 963 8650 or the Parkland RCMP after hours non-emergency line at 825-220-7267.
- For questions or concerns about the e-scooter program, payments/refunds, technical issues, or your account, contact Bird Canada at 1-866-205-2442 or email hello@birdcanada.co.

Subsidized rates are offered for both Local and Commuter monthly passes. Additionally, Newcomers to Canada (who arrived in Canada within the last three months) are eligible for three months of fully subsidized passes (either Local or Commuter passes), after that, individuals will be transitioned to the subsidized rate, as applicable.
To be eligible, applicants’ household income (from Line 15000 on your CRA Notice of Assessment) must not exceed the Low-Income Cut-Off level determined by Statistics Canada +25%.
Applications to access the program can be completed year-round, by calling the Community Social Development Office at 780-963-8583, or by completing the form below. Proof of address and household income are required.
In a step towards enhancing regional transit services, municipalities in the Edmonton Metro Region, including the Town of Stony Plain, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on December 21, 2023. The collaborative framework outlines principles such as mutual respect, sole control over assets and workforce, and a commitment to tailored solutions. Regular meetings between CAOs and local transit leaders will further foster communication and efficiency.
