Electric scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in university campuses across the United States, and Purdue University is no exception. Purdue University, located in West Lafayette, Indiana, permits the use of electric scooters, which are considered part of the micro-mobility options available to students, faculty, and visitors for navigating the campus.

To ensure safety and proper management, Purdue University has guidelines and regulations for electric scooter use. These regulations are in line with the local laws and aim to maintain pedestrian safety, as well as the smooth flow of traffic throughout the campus. Riders are expected to follow the rules, which typically include wearing helmets, adhering to speed limits, parking in designated areas, and yielding to pedestrians.
