Scooter Users
The use of scooters presents a challenge for our shuttle company. Scooters may or may not fit in bus cargo areas without being dismantled. Because of liability issues, the shuttle drivers will not assist with dismantling. If you plan to use a scooter, it is your responsibility to get it on and off the bus without assistance from the driver or transportation company.
