Electric scooters have become an increasingly popular mode of transportation across many university campuses. At the University of New Hampshire (UNH), the use of electric scooters is subject to campus regulations designed to ensure safety and accessibility for all students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

The university allows the use of electric scooters, but riders are expected to comply with all applicable laws and campus rules. Scooter riders must adhere to pathways designated for their use and are responsible for riding in a manner that does not disrupt pedestrian traffic or compromise safety. The use of helmets is strongly encouraged to reduce the risk of injury.

Electric scooters must be parked in designated areas to maintain clear pathways. Improperly parked scooters that obstruct walkways, doorways, ramps, or cause other safety concerns may be subject to removal.

To promote a safe community, UNH encourages all electric scooter users to follow best practices for operation and to be mindful of the potential impact on fellow campus community members. Riders are advised to maintain a safe speed, give right of way to pedestrians, and be cautious during inclement weather when pathways may be slippery.

Any changes to the policy on electric scooters will be communicated to the university community, and users should stay informed about current campus regulations to ensure compliance and a positive coexistence with other modes of transportation at UNH.
