Electric scooters returning to Stillwater campus

Electric scooters will be available on Oklahoma State University’s Stillwater campus beginning Jan. 23.

Three major changes will be involved with their return: mandatory parking sites, lower costs and a company new to Stillwater.

Spin is providing the dockless, motorized scooters. The university is requiring the scooters to be parked in designated parking areas, which will have a special decal.

Spin will charge students, faculty and staff with an okstate.edu email address $.50 to unlock and $.15 per minute to ride a scooter. The cost to the general public will be $1.00 to unlock and $.15 per minute.

Spin is a Ford Motor Co. subsidiary based in San Francisco, which started in 2016. It has contracts with cities and college campuses across the country.

To address safety issues, the scooters will be limited to 10 mph in the core campus area. A campus map showing designated parking sites will be made available later this week. An example of a designated scooter parking area is shown on the right.
