The law adds another task on the list of requirements for scooter owners on campus, who must also register their scooters with UNC Transportation and Parking.
Sophomore Jessica Walker had no trouble registering her scooter with the DMV and UNC this year.
She said she decided the walk from South Campus was all the reason she needed to bring back her scooter.
“In my opinion, I really don’t care,” Walker said.
“I don’t ride it a lot anyway, but whenever I do need to park somewhere, I don’t know where the motorcycle/scooter permit places are, so I just park where I see other scooters.”
Randy Young, spokesman for the Department of Public Safety, said there are far fewer registered scooters on campus this year than in previous years.
He also said the only rules that have changed are those of the state, not the ones set in place by the campus.
“I think there is a misunderstanding that our policies have changed, and they have not,” Young said.
