While The Ohio State University supports alternative mobility options, it is important that we keep the safety of our campus community a top priority. While there is increasing scooter traffic that occurs on campus, scooter operators should review and adhere to the following rules and safety tips.
Safety Tips
- Be mindful of where the scooter is parked to ensure that campus pathways are accesible and safe - avoiding any trip hazards or collisions.
- Upon arriving at your destination, remember to dismount as you exit the roadway and walk the scooter to the nearby rack.
- Park scooters next to a bike rack or in the designated scooter parking zones and avoid leaving them in building entrances and sidewalks to avoid trip hazards.
- Scooters may not be left in pedestrian pathways, vehicle parking spaces, (including ADA spaces and ramps), stairwells, inside buildings, doorways, or areas that block egress or ingress.
- If you do observe scooters that are illegally or improperly parked, report them to the Scooter Company’s mobile app or their online wesbite (i.e., Lime, Bird and Spin).
