College campuses in Stillwater, including Oklahoma State University, should be safe places for all students, staff, and faculty to navigate. The increasing popularity of scooters as a mode of transportation offers a convenient and eco-friendly alternative to cars, yet it has brought about concerns regarding safety due to the mix of scooters and pedestrians on crowded walkways.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, scooter-related injuries have tripled in the United States over the last four years. As scooters share pathways with pedestrians, including those walking to classes, the potential for accidents is significant. Safety measures must be implemented to prevent incidents and ensure the safety of everyone traversing these campuses.

We propose the following solutions to enhance safety: designating specific lanes for scooter traffic, implementing speed limits for scooter users on campus, and creating mandatory scooter safety training and requiring scooter registration on campus. Enforcement of these measures would result in a safer environment and reduce the likelihood of collisions.

Urge the college administration and local government to acknowledge and address these safety concerns promptly. Let's work together to make our campuses safer for everyone.
