Electric scooters fall under the category of Light Electric Vehicles (LEVs) and are subject to regulations and policies specific to The University of British Columbia (UBC). UBC aims to ensure the safety of all campus members while facilitating sustainable transportation options.

At UBC, the use of electric scooters is permitted with certain restrictions in place to maintain a safe and accessible campus environment. Riders are expected to adhere to campus rules, which typically include wearing helmets, following the road rules applicable to bicycles, and exercising caution to not endanger pedestrians and other vehicle operators.

Electric scooters must be operated in a manner that is considerate of pedestrian traffic. Generally, this means that riders should use designated bike lanes where available and must not ride on sidewalks where it would pose a risk to pedestrians.

UBC also has designated parking areas for bicycles and similar vehicles. Riders should park their electric scooters in these areas to avoid obstructing pathways, entrances, and accessibility features.

Furthermore, local municipal regulations and campus-specific policies can be subject to change, and scooter riders at UBC are encouraged to stay informed about current policies, designated riding areas, and any new guidelines that may emerge. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding electric scooter use on campus, individuals should consult UBC's transportation or campus security website and adhere to the guidelines provided by the university.
