Electric scooters have become increasingly popular as a mode of transportation on college campuses across the United States, including at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). UCI allows the use of electric scooters, with specific regulations in place to ensure the safety of all campus members and to maintain orderly transit flow.

To ensure the safe usage of electric scooters at UCI, riders are expected to comply with the campus’s policies and guidelines, which may include wearing helmets, adhering to speed limits, and parking scooters in designated areas to avoid obstructing pathways or building entrances. The university's policies are aligned with the California Vehicle Code and local municipal codes concerning the operation of electric scooters on public pathways and roads.

Moreover, UCI frequently evaluates transportation needs and policies to adapt to changes in traffic patterns, the emergence of new transportation technologies, and the evolving needs of the university community. Riders are encouraged to stay informed about the most recent regulations related to electric scooter use by consulting UCI’s Transportation and Distribution Services.

While electric scooters offer a convenient and eco-friendly transportation option, riders must prioritize safety and courtesy to pedestrians and other vehicle operators on campus. By following the university’s guidelines and regulations, electric scooters and other personal mobility devices can be a part of the diverse transportation ecosystem at the University of California, Irvine.
