Scooter parking pilot

To improve mobility and enhance pedestrian safety around Wrigley Field, the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT) is launching a shared e-scooter parking pilot program.

Building on last year’s efforts to better manage bike and scooter parking during Wrigley events, the initiative introduces designated parking hubs for shared e-scooters and restricts shared scooter riding and parking in high-traffic areas. The goal is to create a safer, more orderly experience for visitors and residents.
