A car-free active-transportation champion is hooked on dockless scooters and e-bikes Like many U.S. cities, Austin has experienced an influx of transportation options over the last year, as dockless scooters and e-bikes have flooded streets. Not only has active-transportation advocate Katie Deolloz embraced the new modes, now the car-free Austinite uses dockless services almost exclusively to get around.
A longtime champion of local pedestrians and cyclists, Deolloz is a 2017 Fellow of the America Walks National Walking College, a member of the board of Walk Austin, and currently wrapping up two-year terms with both the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Councils for the City of Austin.

She has also served as interim executive director at Bike Austin since January of this year (and the views expressed here are hers?not the views of Bike Austin). To keep up with her?she often bikes 12 miles or more per day?check out @katiedeolloz on Twitter and Instagram. Deolloz brought Curbed around town during Austin City Limits, one of the many festivals that temporarily reconfigure Austin?s downtown?and illustrate how inefficient cars are for moving through busy streets. Follow along as Deolloz enthusiastically weaves through the city on e-bikes, scooters, and her own two feet.
