Electric scooters have become a popular mode of transportation in many urban environments, including college campuses. At the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, electric scooters are allowed, aligning with the city's broader acceptance and integration of this mode of transportation. The University supports diverse modes of transportation to improve accessibility across campus while also contributing to sustainability goals.

Users are expected to follow certain regulations and guidelines to ensure safety and harmony within the campus environment.
