Electric Scooter: Difference between revisions

This policy applies to all employees, students, and visitors of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) and the use of Electric Scooters on UNMC property. This policy does not apply to Electric Scooters being used to accommodate persons with mobility restrictions.

UNMC reserves the right to regulate the use of Electric Scooters on UNMC property. Electric Scooters may be used to travel to campus, subject to applicable traffic law, but must be left at the established drop-off locations on the campus perimeter prior to entering campus.

UNMC prioritizes the safety of the campus community while recognizing the potential contribution an Electric Scooter share program may offer. Communities around the country have seen the rapid introduction and implementation of Electric Scooter share programs necessitating ordinances, programs, and policy to ensure the safe usage, parking, storage, and charging of these devices. <br />

In an effort to ensure that UNMC is best able to meet the needs and demand of the campus and neighboring community in regards to these devices, this interim policy is enacted while a long-term policy, and/or program, that best suits the needs of all stakeholders and constituents is devised and implemented.
