Last Thursday, Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan appointed Senator Frank Ginn (R – Danielsville) to serve on the Senate Evaluating E-Scooters and Other Innovative Mobility Options for Georgians Study Committee.

“As chairman of the Senate Economic Development and Tourism Committee, I realize how important innovative transportation options are to our commuters and those visiting our state who use public transportation, and need an alternative way to get to their final destination,” said Sen. Ginn. “I look forward to working with my colleagues on this committee to review current practices throughout the state to ensure the safety of our riders, drivers and citizens.”

“Georgians expect their elected leaders to make deliberate, informed decisions to better our state,” said Lt. Governor Duncan. “The study committee process allows our Senators to dedicate extensive focus to a single issue and generate in-depth proposals for our next legislative session. I look forward to the hard work of Senator Ginn and the appointed members of the Senate Evaluating E-Scooters and Other Innovative Mobility Options for Georgians Study Committee as they meet to study, discuss, and prepare legislative action items for the Senate to consider in 2020.”

The Senate Evaluating E-Scooters and Other Innovative Mobility Options for Georgians Study Committee was created by the passage of Senate Resolution 479 during the 2019 Legislative Session. Five members will serve on the study committee and will evaluate how local governments, state agencies and universities are utilizing E-scooters and other innovative mobility technology. The committee must report its findings on or before December 1, 2019.
