Micromobility devices like e-bikes and scooters are welcome at Kennesaw State University! To keep our campus community safe, there are important rules and regulations that must be followed. It is important that everyone on campus, including students, faculty, staff, and visitors, follow these guidelines to prevent injuries, accidents, and property damage.  

Micromobility Rules and Regulations

All students, faculty, and staff are strongly encouraged to register their bicycles, scooters, and other micromobility devices. 
 
There is no fee to register, and registration will help: 

• Support KSU’s certification in the Bicycle Friendly University℠ (BFU℠) Program of the League of American Bicyclists 
• Support Sustainability tracking metrics 
• Support KSU’s Department of Public Safety & University Police with investigations regarding stolen bicycles, scooters, and other micromobility devices 
• Identify owners before bicycles thought to be abandoned are impounded as part of the Bicycle Rescue Program 

Micromobility Registration Form

Safety is a shared responsibility across our campus community. Whether you're walking, biking, riding a scooter, or using public transit, following these guidelines helps create a safer and more sustainable campus for everyone. 

Micromobility and Transit Safety Tips 

• Yield to pedestrians, wheelchair users, and vehicles when operating bicycles, scooters, skateboards, or other micromobility devices. 
• Share sidewalks and pathways respectfully with pedestrians, golf carts, wheelchairs, and other micromobility users. 
• Follow all posted "Share the Road" and "Dismount Zone" signage. 
• Maintain a safe speed and leave plenty of space between yourself and others, especially during inclement weather. 
• Stay alert and aware of your surroundings, particularly when boarding or exiting transit and when locking or unlocking your micromobility device. 
• Avoid using cell phones or headphones while riding to ensure you can remain aware of nearby pedestrians, vehicles, and potential hazards. 
• Always wear a properly fitted helmet when riding bicycles, scooters, and other micromobility devices. 
• Help protect campus landscapes by avoiding the creation of "desire paths." Ride only on designated roads, sidewalks, and paved surfaces to prevent erosion, soil compaction, and damage to grass and landscaping.  

Public Transit Courtesy 

• Allow passengers to exit Big Owl Bus and CobbLinc buses before boarding. 
• Use headphones when listening to music or videos while riding public transit to help create a comfortable experience for all passengers.
