Electric scooters, along with various modes of personal transportation vehicles, are becoming increasingly popular on college campuses nationwide due to their convenience and low environmental impact. At SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), policies regarding electric scooters align with maintaining campus safety and supporting the college's sustainability goals.

As a general rule, electric scooters are permitted on the ESF campus, but they must be operated in a safe and responsible manner. Riders are expected to adhere to the campus regulations which typically require scooters to be operated at reasonable speeds and with due care to avoid accidents. Riders must also comply with local traffic laws when navigating through public streets and shared spaces around the campus.

Designated areas for parking and storing electric scooters should be utilized to ensure they do not obstruct pedestrian traffic, access to buildings, or pathways designed for individuals with disabilities. Some additional guidelines may apply, such as wearing helmets for safety and potentially registering the scooter with the campus public safety department, depending on the current policies in place.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding electric scooter usage at SUNY ESF, it is advised to consult the university's official transportation guidelines or contact the campus public safety office directly. These resources will provide details on any changes to rules or additional restrictions that might apply, ensuring both the safety of those using electric scooters and those around them on campus.
