When obtaining an electric micromobility device, consult your manufacturer’s manual or check for UL certification stickers. The University of Maryland will follow all related Consumer Product Safety Commission CPSC advisories and recalls related to micromobility devices. It is the owner’s responsibility to stay informed regarding any recalls or safety notices regarding their device. </p><p> </p><h5><strong>MICROMOBILITY VEHICLE REGISTRATION CHART</strong></h5><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td>Annual Registration</td><td>Fall and Spring Semester Registration</td><td>How to register</td><td>Longevity</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Bicycle</strong>(non-electric or gas powered)</td><td>Free</td><td>Free</td><td><ol><li>Register on <a href="https://bikeindex.org/umd" target="_blank">bikeindex.org/umd</a></li><li>Pick up registration sticker at the DOTS office or Campus Bike shop</li></ol></td><td>Does not expire</td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>E-Scooter</strong></p><p><strong>E-Bike</strong> (Class 1, 2, and 3)</p></td><td>Free</td><td>Free</td><td><ol><li>Complete for the <a href="https://dotsumd.fyi/take-micromobility-training" target="_blank">Micromobility at UMD</a> training course</li><li>Register your vehicle in the DOTS office</li></ol></td><td>Registration must be renewed every two years</td></tr></tbody></table><h5><br><strong>WHY REGISTRATION IS IMPORTANT</strong></h5><p>Registration provides a record of ownership of your vehicle. Should your vehicle be lost or stolen, your registration record can be used to file a report with campus police. Registration counts also support the campus’ ability to plan and dedicate resources to the management of micromobility devices. <br> </p><h5><strong>VISITOR REGISTRATION</strong></h5><p>Visitors who plan to bring their electric micromobility vehicles to campus should use a visitor tag. To request a visitor tag, please reach out to us by phone at (301) 314-3687 or complete <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSemDJVzhQVbc87g94H_FRocabsT4fEwFkQXVKcg_TPUOUHbuA/viewform">this form</a> and someone from our team will be in touch via email. <br> </p><h5><strong>PENALTIES</strong></h5><p>Unregistered, abandoned, indoor storage/charging, or improperly parked micromobility devices are in violation of campus regulations and subject to enforcement by DOTS or other campus officials. Penalties are listed in the chart below.<br> </p><h5 id="boot"><strong>MICROMOBILITY PENALTIES</strong></h5><img src="/sites/default/files/2024-07/micromobility-penalty.jpg" data-entity-uuid="bd17c2cf-4846-4552-9d1c-39815d47ebb8" data-entity-type="file" alt="micromobility penalty" width="801" height="691" class="align-center" loading="lazy"><p> </p><h5><strong>WHAT TO DO IF YOUR VEHICLE IS IMPOUNDED OR BOOTED</strong></h5><h5><strong>YOUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN BOOTED</strong></h5><p>1. If your vehicle is booted, the first step is to fill out the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfVpl-IAMZEGFgpFJ6sp87Rhkfkae9WHfaRQ91P0RxcGWxtmQ/viewform">Booting Release Form</a> and authorize a $20 release fee charge.<br>2. Once you have properly completed the above form and authorized the $20 boot release fee charge,<br> 1. During business hours (M-F, 8:15-4:00) a DOTS employee will email you a code to release the u-lock boot.</p><p> 2. Booting release is not available on Saturday and Sunday.</p><p>3. Once the code is emailed by a staff member, you will have 48 hours to remove the boot from your vehicle and return it to DOTS or you will face a $30 charge for the replacement of the u-lock. Detailed instructions on how to return the u-lock will be provided via email when the release code is sent.</p><h5><strong>IMPOUNDED VEHICLES</strong></h5><ol><li>If you believe that your vehicle has been impounded, the first step is to check the <a href="/bike-regulations#claim-bike">impounded bike/scooter database</a>. All impounded bikes and scooters are on this list.<br>1. If you cannot identify your bike or scooter in the impound database, DOTS does not have your bike and we highly recommend you contact the Department of Public Safety (301) 405-3555 to report it as missing. </li><li>Once you have identified your bike/scooter on the database, fill out the <a href="/bike-regulations#claim-bike">bicycle/scooter retrieval form </a></li><li>DOTS staff will review your form and schedule a time for you to collect your vehicle from the DOTS lobby. There is a $35 fee associated with the release of impounded bikes and scooters.</li><li>If your vehicle is not registered with UMD, it must be registered before your bike/scooter is returned.</li><li>Once all fees have been paid, your vehicle will be released to you.</li><li>DOTS will keep impounded bikes and scooters for one year. If a vehicle has not been retrieved after one year, it will be donated to local non-profit organizations.</li></ol></div></div> </div> </article> </div> </div> <!--/.block-content --> </div> </main> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sliding-sidebar animated-panel-from-right"> <!-- /page.sidebar_sliding --> </div> <!-- /..sliding-sidebar --> <!-- Start: Footer --> <footer id="footer"> <div class="footer"> <div class="container"> <!-- /footer-top --> <!-- end condition if copyright or social icons --> <div class="footer-bottom"> <div class="block-region region-footer-bottom"> <div id="block-tarapro-umdbrandedfooter" class="block"> <div class="block-content"> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field-item"><p><img src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/footer_bar_1.jpg" data-entity-uuid="5941bb0a-8994-4959-b1b7-f38b6f194288" data-entity-type="file" width="1755" height="100" loading="lazy"></p></div> </div> </div> <!--/.block-content --> </div> </div> <!--/.footer-bottom --> <!-- end condition for footer_bottom --> </div><!-- /.container --> </div> <!--/.footer --> </footer> <div class="scrolltop"><i class="fa fa-angle-up" aria-hidden="true"></i></div> <!-- End: Footer --> <style> .header { position: sticky; top: 0; } </style> </div> <script src="/sites/default/files/js/js_cZgO9OjqcGNaYQRJFd7GV2fZj7cIXXU4gLaPPF4lDh4.js?scope=footer&delta=0&language=en&theme=tarapro&include=eJxFjUEKgDAMBD-kePJBaY21knalWRB_r4LU2zAMu5QmR8O07T7w4wQk0xWVHpc6-OXUMgVx_RNDEBudl-Waui5CbVmsiwDQ-fCYI-p_8Y7LqY6ic5dvUp6K7QZmAjsk"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery(".loader").fadeOut( 'slow' ); }); </script> </body> </html>
