Electric scooters have become a popular means of transportation for students across university campuses, including Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). RIT allows the use of electric scooters as a form of sustainable and convenient transportation on its campus. However, there are specific rules and guidelines that users must adhere to while operating electric scooters on campus property.

Safety is a priority at RIT, and therefore electric scooter riders are expected to follow the campus rules which include wearing helmets, yielding to pedestrians, and riding at safe speeds. Additionally, electric scooters must be operated on designated areas and paths, avoiding indoor spaces and pedestrian-only zones.

Parking and storing electric scooters on campus is also governed by regulations. Scooters must be parked at bike racks or other designated areas, making sure they do not block pathways, building entrances, or disability access ramps. It is important for users to be considerate and ensure that their scooters do not impede campus accessibility or safety.

The observance of these rules ensures that electric scooters can coexist with other modes of transportation and that the campus environment remains safe and welcoming for all. Students may consult the RIT Parking and Transportation Services for the most up-to-date information on electric scooter policies and any additional guidelines that may apply.
