Electric scooters, sometimes referred to as e-scooters, have become a popular mode of transportation in many university campuses across the United States. However, policies regarding their use can vary widely from one institution to another.

At the University of West Georgia (UWG), the use of electric scooters on campus is subject to university regulations and local ordinances. To ensure the safety of all individuals on campus and to maintain pedestrian traffic flow, UWG has the authority to regulate the operation, parking, and storage of electric scooters.

Students, staff, and visitors are encouraged to check with UWG's Campus Police or Transportation Services for the most up-to-date policies regarding e-scooter use. This can include designated parking areas for scooters, speed limits, and whether scooters can be ridden on sidewalks or must stick to roadways. Typically, the university will also expect individuals using electric scooters to follow all applicable traffic laws, wear helmets, and yield to pedestrians.

For those considering bringing an electric scooter to UWG or using one for campus transportation, reviewing the university's official guidelines is essential. These guidelines are often available on the university's website or by contacting the appropriate university department directly.
