What Can You Do About Scooters Blocking Access?

If you see a scooter on campus that is blocking access (doorway, elevator, etc.), you have options to remedy the situation. 
• If you have the scooter app on your phone, you can report it there.
• If you are able to move the scooter yourself, we encourage you to move it out of the way.
• If you need help to do either, contact Shawn Blackston at 502-852-9041 or email the Parking office at ulpark@louisville.edu.
