Micromobility Safety | Security and Emergency Management Services | Seneca Students

The accessible and portable nature of micromobility devices, such as bicycles and scooters, makes them a great and affordable way to stay active and greener, however, this also makes them easy targets for theft.

You can prevent unfortunate circumstances from happening by:

• Remaining alert when operating your device, and always wear the appropriate protective equipment.
• Ensuring you park your device in a well-lit, high-traffic, authorized location preferably near a camera.
• Securing your device with a bolt-cutter-proof locking mechanism and removing key components of your device if it allows (such as the seat).
• Do not hang or leave peripheral items such as helmets or personal belongings on your device.
• Giving your device a makeover! Whether it's a sticker, or something unique to make it easily identifiable if it is stolen.
