Electric scooters have hit the streets of Wichita.
Mayor Jeff Longwell held a small ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday morning at the corner of Second and Main streets, officially launching the program.
"This new method of transportation will add vibrancy to our downtown, and it'll make getting around a little easier," Longwell said.
Transit director Mike Tann says that 500 scooters were deployed Monday around the downtown area, but more than 1,100 will be available over the next few weeks.
