Personal E-Scooter Update

Orientation materials incorrectly indicated that scooters require parking permits. They do not; only registration is required.

Register your ride and ensure that your device is UL-certified. UL-certified devices comply with local and federal safety regulations. To check for UL-certification, look for stickers like these.

For more safety best practices, check out our Bicycle, Skateboard and Scooter Guidelines and safety tips.
