At Ohio University, electric scooters are permitted on campus, although their use is regulated. Riders are expected to abide by university policy and local ordinances, which typically involve adhering to rules similar to those for bicycles. This means riding on designated bike paths or roadways, following traffic laws, wearing helmets for safety, and parking scooters in appropriate areas to avoid obstructing pedestrian traffic or accessibility.

It is important for riders to check the most current Ohio University policies and local Athens regulations regarding the operation of electric scooters, as rules can change and specific guidelines may be set by the university for safety and operational reasons. This ensures the shared use of campus pathways remains safe and orderly for all pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter users.
