Commute Student Profile (45 students )

Over 80% commute to campus all or most of the week
On average, commute takes 24.4 minutes.
The most common form of commute is walking and bus/shuttle (followed by car rides).

Over 50% felt positively that having an electric scooter will help improve their travel time to/from/on campus

Over half of those expressed a positive sentiment towards substituting vehicles with the scooter.

Proposed Program Requirements

One scooter per eligible student living off campus
Must be enrolled in at least 1 previous quarter (unless you are a third-year transfer student)
Must be enrolled in at least 12 units
Must have a GPA of 2.5 and above to be eligible

Current Infrastructure

27,000 students who commute to UCSD currently
Parking zones for Scooters are located at North Point loops, Tata Hall, Marshall College, Center Hall, Sixth College, Seventh College, Pepper Canyon and Muir College.
There are locked rooms where students can store their scooters in Revelle College, Thurgood Marshall College,and North Campus.

Major Student Interests/Concerns

Where to store/charge the scooter during classes, on public transportation, and around campus.
Potential accidents or injuries due to campus conditions.
Insurance coverage, financial assistance programs, and the financial implications of scooter damage or theft.
Uncertainty about eligibility criteria
Efficiency of the student application process (first-time applicant vs. renewer applicant).
Factors such as existing access to public transportation, individual financial circumstances, and personal preferences regarding scooter usage.

Program Logistics

Charger and lock will be provided
Fitted with a tracking device to locate it if lost or stolen
Students are financially responsible for the device and accessories
Students are responsible for covering all damages, loss of items, and repairs
Financial assistance for repair or replacement may be provided based on household income (case by case)

Infrastructure Changes

Adding more areas to lock the scooters would improve and lower the risk of scooters being stolen.
Adding at least one of these to every college would help prevent theft.
Expansions to the current bike paths may be necessary to support the growing number of scooters on campus.
This will help students save money such as: not spending money on a parking pass which costs about $100 a month, spend less on gas which on average costs about $150- $200.
There is a shortage of parking spots, students utilizing the provided scooters to get to class will not have to worry about parking on campus.

Next Steps

Source funding and/or sponsorships for the scooters
Propose this project to the commute service center
Present at Alumni events
Look into execution of expanding the bike paths and campus layout to support this project safely
Research the legal side of this program

Logistical Cost

Scooters would be given to students one week before school starts
Each scooter would cost UCSD approximately $500
Each Lock will cost around $30
Charger would cost about $20
GPS tracker cost around $16 and will allow students to track their scooters off their phone
Return scooters at the end of the year
Estimate cost 15 million dollars
