Electric scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in urban environments, and many college campuses have adopted policies to accommodate them. At the University of Michigan-Flint, the use of electric scooters is generally permitted on campus. However, users must follow the university’s regulations and guidelines to ensure safety and avoid disruptions.

The campus allows the use of electric scooters as a means of convenient and sustainable transportation for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It is important for riders to observe the following:

- Scooters must be operated in a safe and courteous manner, respecting pedestrians and other vehicle operators.
- Riders should use bike lanes where available and are required to follow the same rules applicable to bicycles.
- The university could designate certain areas as no-ride zones or implement parking restrictions for scooters, so users must adhere to these designations.
- Electric scooters should not be ridden inside buildings, on sidewalks where they could impede pedestrian traffic, or in any other areas that might pose a risk to safety or accessibility.
- Users are encouraged to wear helmets and other protective gear to minimize the risk of injury.
- Riders are expected to comply with state and local laws regarding the operation of electric scooters.

Before bringing an electric scooter to the University of Michigan-Flint or using one on campus, individuals should check the most recent policies and updates from the university administration. These policies may change as the usage of electric scooters evolves and as the university continues to assess the impact on the campus community and infrastructure. Additionally, any specific rental scooter company operating within the city may have their agreements with the municipality that also dictate where and how their scooters can be used.

With responsible use and adherence to university policies, electric scooters can provide a convenient and eco-friendly transportation option for the University of Michigan-Flint community.
