Electric scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in urban environments, including college campuses. At San José State University, electric scooters are permitted on campus grounds, but users must adhere to university policies and local regulations intended to ensure safety and minimize disruptions.

The university has implemented guidelines to regulate the use of electric scooters, which include designated parking areas to avoid blocking pathways and building entrances, as well as speed limits to ensure pedestrian safety. Riders are required to follow the campus rules, which are similar to those for bicycles, including yielding to pedestrians, dismounting in crowded areas, and refraining from riding on certain pathways or inside buildings.

San José State University often partners with scooter rental companies to provide students with easy access to this mode of transportation. It is crucial for riders to comply with rental agreements and university rules, such as wearing helmets and maintaining proper control of the scooter at all times.

The campus community is encouraged to respect the shared environment by operating electric scooters in a responsible manner. Updates to policies may occur, so it is advisable for potential users to check the most current information provided by San José State University and the City of San José to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and guidelines regarding electric scooter use.
