Important Notice: Policy and E-Scooter Safety Enforcement
As students prepare to depart campus for the upcoming break, University Police reminds our community of the importance of adhering to both Penn State and state motor vehicle regulations when traveling across campus.
Both state law and Penn State policy prohibit the use of E-scooters on campus.
If you currently use an E-scooter or E-skateboard when traveling on campus, please take it and leave it at home when you return after the break, as police enforcement of policy and law will be notably heightened in the spring semester.
