PERMIT PROCESS FOR E-BIKES
All students must obtain an e-bike permit in order to ride and park your e-bike on campus. All e-bike permits are free.
Complete the following items in order to receive your e-bike permit sticker:
The e-bike permit sticker must be placed on your e-bike in a visible area near the handlebars on your e-bike. Your e-bike sticker permit should not be removed. If your sticker is removed, please report this information to the office for replacement and/or investigation. Please note that e-bike sticker permits are only valid for the school year they were issued. This means the e-bike/bicycle safety course/presentation + permit application must be completed each school year. SAMPLE OF E-BIKE PERMIT (may look different at the time of distribution)
