You may have noticed that temperatures are expected to drop into the middle and upper 20s overnight this week, causing ice to possibly form on surfaces. Please be extra cautious of slippery conditions in parking lots, stairways and shaded areas.
Here are some helpful tips for walking safely on icy surfaces.
As part of our commitment to campus safety, we want to ensure all personal transportation devices, including bicycles, skateboards and e-mobility devices, are used responsibly. All devices must be operated respectfully on roads and sidewalks only, with operators yielding to pedestrians and using courteous communication when approaching. For everyone’s safety, all devices may not be ridden inside campus buildings, and riders should keep wheels on the ground at all times.
University policy supports the safe and respectful use of e-mobility devices around campus. E-mobility devices, such as e-scooters, e-bikes and hoverboards, should be ridden at slower speeds, especially in pedestrian-heavy areas.
To mitigate fire risks, indoor charging and storage of these devices are strictly prohibited in accordance with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue guidelines, institutional insurance requirements, and Oregon state law. Riding, storing or charging these devices inside campus buildings is forbidden. Devices must not block fire exits, stairways or emergency access areas and should be parked only at designated bike racks.
Remember, helmets and other safety gear are highly recommended. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our campus safe and accessible for all!
