The City of Cedar Rapids is launching its Micromobility Program on Friday.
City leaders announced last week the program would return. It allows people to rent e-bikes or scooters using the Veo app.
This is the fourth year for the program. Safety has been a concern after two boys, one eight-years-old and one 12, were seriously injured when they were hit by a car while both were riding the same scooter last summer.
This year, only those 18-years of age and older will be allowed to use the scooters. People will be required to set up an account using a government-issued ID to verify their age.
