Electric scooters, which offer an efficient and eco-friendly mode of transportation, are allowed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under specific guidelines. The university recognizes the popularity of these devices among students and visitors and has established rules to ensure safety and order on the campus.

Riders are expected to operate their electric scooters in a manner that is respectful of pedestrians and adheres to the campus's shared pathways and roadways policies. Electric scooters must be parked in designated areas to prevent obstructing walkways, building entrances, and accessibility ramps. It is also important to note that the use of electric scooters on sidewalks may be restricted to prevent accidents and collisions with pedestrians.

To ensure adherence to these guidelines, the University of Wisconsin-Madison works in partnership with scooter rental companies when applicable. These companies often provide geofencing technology to help regulate the speed and parking of electric scooters in certain areas of the campus.

For the most current information on policies, campus community members and visitors are encouraged to consult the university's Transportation Services for comprehensive details about electric scooter usage, including any updates or changes to regulations. Additionally, riders should always follow the university's directives and respect the campus environment to maintain a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all.
