Why are shareable bikes and scooters all over campus?

The University partners with the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul to offer bike and scooter share vendors on campus to increase mobility.

If you see bikes or scooters blocking entrances or paths, please let us know the location and a date/time so we can work with the companies to avoid and prevent future occurrences.
