2020 Scooter Pilot Feedback Survey
The 2020 four-month shared e-scooter pilot program concludes on December 12, 2020. The City of Chicago would appreciate your help to evaluate the program by taking this survey to help determine what role shared e-scooters should play in the City’s transportation landscape. As the pilot ends, City staff will evaluate the impact and success of the pilot and take into account these survey results, an analysis of trip data and stakeholder feedback. After completing the program evaluation, the City will work with residents and City Council to determine a long-term approach to innovative, shared micromobility.
The City will be conducting a thorough evaluation of the pilot with a report to be published in early 2021. Your response to this survey is much appreciated and will help shape the pilot evaluation and help inform future decisions on shared e-scooters in Chicago. Thank you!

Next Phase of Red-Purple Line Modernization
Preparatory work for the next phase of the Red-Purple Bypass Project – building a temporary track structure – will begin this month.
In order to continue to provide Red, Purple, and Brown Line service throughout RPM Phase One construction (2019-2025), a temporary track structure will need to be build parallel to the Red, Purple, and Brown Line tracks between W. Belmont Avenue and north of W. School Street. Construction of this temporary track is expected to begin in December 2020. Trains will use this track for several years during construction.
