We’re Western students and alumni exploring a safe, affordable campus scooter pilot. Add your vote to help us prove student interest.
Getting Across Western is Harder Than it Needs to Be
Western's beautiful campus is spread across almost 500 acres. For thousands of students, daily transit is characterized by friction and delays.
Rushing from a lecture in Natural Sciences to a seminar in Social Sciences in just 10 minutes is an impossible sprint.
Struggling to find parking space in support lots, leaving you stuck parking far from your final destination.
Students living in Saugeen or Ontario Hall face long daily treks just to reach main campus facilities.
LTC buses can be packed to capacity or delayed by London traffic, making internal campus travel unpredictable.
Advocating for Ordered, Safe Micromobility
Rather than free-floating scooters scattered in pathways, we are pushing for a geofenced, hub-based service designed alongside students and administrators.
Western administration needs concrete, non-anonymous data verifying that student interest exists before dedicating resources to explore a pilot program.
By participating, you help shape the parameters—such as identifying preferred parking hubs, setting speed limits, and deciding transit lanes.
E-scooters offer a low-carbon transport option, supporting Western's commitment to reducing campus carbon footprint and parking congestion.
The pilot would only move forward with the appropriate approvals, insurance, operating rules, safety education, geofencing/parking controls, and compliance with applicable university, municipal, and provincial requirements.
It only takes 60 seconds to vote. Join your peers and make your voice heard for a safer, faster campus commute.
