(Portland, OR)  --  The Portland Bureau of Transportation reports a profit from the pilot program for electric scooters.  Financial records show the e-scooter program added over 188 thousand dollars to city coffers.  That money came in from the application fees, permits, use fees, and penalties associated with the Bird, Lime, and Skip scooters.  During the four-month trial period the city did spend a little over 86 thousand dollars on administration, enforcement, and evaluation fees for the program.
