The University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) recognizes the popularity and convenience of electric scooters, especially among students who use them for quick transportation around campus. To ensure safety and accessibility, UIC allows electric scooters on campus but mandates specific guidelines and regulations that riders must follow.

Electric scooters are to be operated in a manner that respects the safety of all campus community members. Riders should use bike lanes where available and must adhere to the campus's designated speed limits. Sidewalks are primarily for pedestrian use, and scooter riders should yield to pedestrians at all times.

Parking of electric scooters needs to be in consideration of pedestrian access and safety. Scooters must not obstruct sidewalks, disability access ramps, building entrances, or emergency routes. Designated parking areas for bicycles may also accommodate electric scooters, and users are encouraged to use bike racks when available to secure their scooters.

On-campus regulations align with the City of Chicago's rules for electric scooters. The use of helmets is highly encouraged to reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of an accident. It's important that scooter riders abide by all traffic laws, just like any other vehicle on the road.

Adherence to these guidelines ensures a harmonious and safe integration of electric scooters within the diverse transportation ecosystem at the UIC campus. Any updates to regulations or guidelines are typically communicated through official university channels to keep the community informed about the best practices related to electric scooter use on campus.
