Utah Admin. Code R805-1-1 - Purpose and Scope

A. The purpose of this Rule is to govern the operation and use of non-motorized riding devices, including bicycles, skateboards, rollerskates and scooters, on the campus of, or on other premises owned, operated or controlled by, the University of Utah.

The University wishes to encourage and facilitate the use of non-motorized forms of transportation to, from and across the University campus while also ensuring a safe environment for pedestrians, reducing risks of personal injury for pedestrians or device riders, and avoiding damage to University facilities caused by inappropriate use of devices on University premises. This Rule is intended to balance these interests.

B. This Rule governs the use of non-motorized riding devices by members of the public who visit the University of Utah campus. It is not intended to govern use by current University students and faculty, University employees, and other persons who are formally affiliated with the University. The use of such devices on University premises by members of the University community is governed by University of Utah Policy 3-232.

This Rule is not intended to govern the use of any non-motorized riding device carried out as a planned part of a special event specifically approved by University officials to be conducted on University premises, including a riding competition, exhibition, or similar event. Use of riding devices as part of any such event will be governed by the terms of any applicable contract or event rules.
