Spin is adding a limited number of e-bikes on campus for its members, along with e-scooters. Riders must follow these guidelines:
- Scooters and e-bikes must be parked upright adjacent to a bicycle rack and not impede pedestrians. To find campus bike racks, view this map.
- The East Campus Quadrangle, Abele Quadrangle and Bryan Center Plaza, the Athletic Department campus and Sarah P. Duke Gardens, are dismount zones. Scooters and e-bikes may not be ridden in these areas.
- Scooters and e-bikes cannot be ridden or parked in University parking garages, residence halls or other University buildings.
For more safety and operating policies, visit parking.duke.edu/scooters.
Duke University will offer free GoPass access to GoTriangle and GoRaleigh beginning Wednesday, August 7. Instead of a plastic card, passengers will download the Umo app on their phones, and request a code to pay for bus rides.
