Scooter owners are required to park their scooters in parking areas designated specifically for their vehicles and to register their scooters with UNC Transportation & Parking (registration aids in the recovery of lost or stolen vehicles). For more information or to register your scooter, visit: Motorcycle/Scooter – Transportation and Parking (unc.edu).",
