Electric scooters have gained popularity as a mode of urban transportation, thanks to their convenience and eco-friendly nature. The New School, like many urban campuses, must manage various forms of transportation to ensure safety and accessibility.

The rules regarding the use of electric scooters on campus can be specific to the institution, and they often mirror local city ordinances. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, students, faculty, and visitors should consult The New School's official campus policies or contact the university’s Public Safety or Campus Services departments. Typically, these policies will address where electric scooters can be ridden, where they can be parked, and how they should be operated to ensure the safety of all campus pedestrians and riders.

In urban settings like New York City, where The New School is located, local laws permit the use of electric scooters on certain streets and bike lanes, but often with speed restrictions and other guidelines to follow. Riders are generally expected to adhere to these rules while navigating through the city and while on campus.

To facilitate the safe integration of electric scooters on campus, The New School may designate specific parking and operating areas to prevent obstruction of walkways and entrances and may outline rules to prevent the hazardous operation of scooters. Riders might be encouraged or required to use scooter parking racks or designated zones if available.

For individuals considering using an electric scooter as their mode of transportation to and from The New School, it is advisable to review both New York City's regulations regarding electric scooters and The New School's campus policies to ensure compliance with all rules and regulations.
