Amy, We established sections applicable to each of our campuses in our agency's title in the Washington Administrative Code that address scooters. (All of the sections are basically the same.) You may view these rules at: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=504-15-930 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=504-14-930 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=504-13-930 http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=504-19-930

Here is a link<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://www.google.com/search?q%3Dmotorized%2C%26%2343%3Bself-balancing%26%2343%3Bscooters%26source%3Dlnms%26tbm%3Disch%26sa%3DX%26ved%3D0CAkQ_AUoA2oVChMIwIfB6fWNyAIVyBeSCh2YUQ_c%26biw%3D1429%26bih%3D1035%26dpr%3D0.9&k=EWEYHnIvm0nsSxnW5y9VIw%3D%3D%0A&r=rOC%2B4I8r3rU8pRdVZ0oaiQ%3D%3D%0A&m=AEIzjDNZQ0rRQ8LcS0ovQ3BT0s9OqE5Nx6uKrHz8sjg%3D%0A&s=2eaeedf6c00d775506d1e17a65cad5c3a15c35ff90070d854a0ef2259398b939> to a few images in case you are not familiar with these. While these are permissible on sidewalks, my office has started receiving complaints from building occupants about students racing around on these devices indoors causing distress, accidents and physical damage to property. We are considering whether we need to policy to prohibit the use of these devices indoors. We would carve out exemptions for public safety officers, who use Segways, and for those using such devices as a result of a physical disability. If this is something your campus has encountered, how have you handled it? As always, enforcement will be an issue and I would welcome any tips on how such a policy can be enforced. Thank you!
