Micromobility Devices

Micromobility devices are a great way to get around campus, and UWF has dedicated spaces for parking and charging these devices, as well as policies to ensure everyone is able to navigate safely around campus.

What are they?

Micromobility Devices are small, lightweight, electric-powered transportation devices designed for short-distance travel, including electric scooters, e-bikes, and electric skateboards - wheeled conveyances designed for personal transport.
