You're commenting good luck enforcing this on a post about effective data-backed enforcement. Kinda weak.
By the way, companies will and do ban riders for repeated parking offenses.

Probably because the stat about effectiveness was at the bottom and the title was "we're testing," not "here are the results of our test." I'm saying it's difficult to enforce because I see people ditch these things in the street a lot. Yes, I'm one of those "evil motorists" this sub seems to hate, but I dislike these things because a) they're hard to see at night b) they get ditched in the roadways and driveways and c) they care about as much for traffic laws as cyclists do (e.g., blowing through reds). Corralling them is great, if you can get people to do it.
I'd be more interested in the stats for the "non-hub" areas.

Then we’ll look forward to seeing you at our January meeting where we’ll present more of the data.

Appreciate that, but do you have a date/time for that? I don’t see one off that link and the page at https://transportation.baltimorecity.gov/upcoming-public-meetings is dated.

Are you implying cyclists and scooter users break traffic laws at higher rates than motorists?

No, but the consequences tend to be a lot more severe if an accident occurs.
