The University of Ottawa recognizes the increasing popularity and convenience of electric scooters as a mode of urban transportation. Students, faculty, and visitors can enjoy the benefits of electric scooters as part of their commute to and around the campus. However, for the safety and comfort of all campus community members, the university advocates for responsible use and adherence to campus rules and local laws governing the operation of electric scooters.

The university campus is shared by pedestrians, cyclists, and individuals with mobility challenges, therefore it is essential that electric scooter riders navigate the area with care and respect. Riders are expected to follow the same rules that apply to cyclists, which may include using designated bike lanes where available and dismounting in crowded pedestrian areas.

Additionally, the City of Ottawa has specific by-laws and regulations pertaining to electric scooters, which riders must comply with while on public roads and pathways. These regulations include speed limits, age requirements for riders, and the use of helmets.

Riders are also advised to check the university's updates and policies regarding parking and designated areas for electric scooters to ensure they are parked responsibly without obstructing pathways or access points.

To facilitate a positive and safe environment, the University of Ottawa encourages all electric scooter users to ride safely, responsibly, and in accordance with the university's guidelines and local regulations. This ensures that the campus remains a welcoming and secure space for all modes of transportation.
