Micromobility Registration Now Available
The University has implemented a micromobility policy to support safe, more organized use of bicycles, e-bikes, e-scooters, unicycles (or single-wheel devices) and other personal mobility devices on campus. Students, faculty and staff should register their device(s) prior to arriving to campus.
Registration is required for all micromobility devices.

Violation of Micromobility Parking Procedures
Owners or operators of micromobility vehicles parking in violation of the policy will be subject to the following:
- Transportation Services staff will impound the micromobility vehicle and place it in a designated location that is deemed secure.
- As necessary, the locks, chains or other devices used to secure a micromobility vehicle may be removed with bolt cutters or other tools resulting in damage to the locking device. Any damage to the owner’s lock, chain or other device used to secure a micromobility vehicle will not be assumed by the University.
- An impounded micromobility device will be released upon proof of ownership and a $5 storage fee may be collected.
- If the device is also parked in violation of the Vehicle Code or City Ordinance the officer may issue a Parking Violation or a Traffic Citation, each of which requires a payment of a fine.
- Violations of the Student Code of Conduct may be addressed via Conduct Referral.
What devices are included in micromobility?
Small, lightweight, personal transportation devices that typically cannot travel faster than 30 MPH. Micromobility vehicles include non-motorized, human powered vehicles, such as bicycles and non-motorized scooters, as well as motorized, electric powered vehicles, such as electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric skateboards, electric unicycles, and other small personal transportation vehicles. For purposes of this policy, micromobility vehicles do not include non-motorized skateboards or electric personal assistance mobility devices (EPAMDs).
EPAMDs are devices designed to support individuals with limited mobility, such as power wheelchairs, mobility scooters and walking aids with powered assistance, which are not micromobility vehicles.
