Electric scooters, also known as e-scooters, are permitted at Texas A&M University with certain regulations to ensure safety and proper use throughout the campus. Texas A&M University has established rules and parking areas specifically for e-scooters to manage their use and integration into campus transportation options.

The university’s Transportation Services department provides guidelines for the use of e-scooters, including where riders can operate them and how they should be parked. Riders are expected to follow the university’s traffic regulations, which include yielding to pedestrians, riding at safe speeds, and not riding on sidewalks in some areas.

E-scooter parking is designated in specific areas to avoid cluttering pathways and blocking building entrances. Riders are encouraged to park e-scooters upright in the designated zones to maintain clear pathways for all pedestrians and to respect the accessibility requirements of the campus community.

Additionally, Texas A&M may have agreements with certain e-scooter rental companies to operate within the campus boundaries, further organizing and controlling the use of these vehicles. These partnerships often provide students and faculty with convenient access to e-scooters through apps, making it easier to travel short distances quickly.

Riders are also reminded that wearing helmets while operating e-scooters is important for safety, though it may not be legally required. By following the established guidelines, users can benefit from the convenience of e-scooters while contributing to a safe and orderly campus environment.
