110|Page • Non-Motorized Wheeled Vehicles are defined as human-powered devices with wheels, including but not limited to skateboards, roller skates, rollerblades, scooters, and bicycles. • Except where expressly permitted (e.g., residence hall room storage), prohibited locations include: inside university buildings; loading docks, stairs, banisters, railings, landings, ramps, walls, sculptures, benches, and other seating areas; athletic or recreational playing venues; and areas designated as prohibited by signage. Skateboards may be carried in university/foundation buildings. • Vehicles must be secured to designated racks. Locking vehicles to handrails, handicap ramps, buildings, trees, or other non-designated areas is prohibited. • Non-Motorized Wheeled Vehicles, of any type, shall not be ridden upon any stairway, wall, bench, fountain, or other structure or facility or on or over landscaping, shrubbery, grass or flower beds. Operators may not do tricks or stunts. Such devices are limited to use as transportation. • Non-Motorized Wheeled Vehicles may only be used upon pedestrian pathways. Riding such devices on roadways or in parking lots is strictly prohibited at all times – because the university has determined that such uses would present unacceptable risks of injury to riders and other users, and unacceptable impeding of motor vehicle traffic in such areas. Also, the university may identify and by appropriate signage designate certain areas in which riding of any particular type of riding device is prohibited (e.g., it may designate certain pedestrian pathways as off-limits for skateboard riding because risk of personal injury are heightened due to steep grades or congestion). Persons riding such devices shall comply with all official traffic control devices and signs including posted signs prohibiting riding in a particular designated location. Device users may dismount and carry their devices across any pedestrian accessible area in which riding of such devices is prohibited. • Every person operating a riding device in any pedestrian accessible area shall yield the right of way to pedestrians at all times. • Every person riding a device shall ride their device in a controlled manner and shall exercise due care and reasonable caution to prevent injury to others, to self, or to property. Individuals using such devices upon the campus of Kutztown University do so at their own risk. • Non-Motorized Wheeled Vehicles may not be operated two or more abreast on any pedestrian pathway, except as part of a university approved competition or function. KU Alert Emergency Messaging Systems In the event of an emergency, timely and accurate communication of information is critical. Kutztown University has developed a plan for emergency communication that utilizes multiple and redundant methods of communication and notification in order to maximize the effectiveness and reach of emergency information. Kutztown University uses the mass text messaging warning system powered by Omnilert. Each student's primary mobile phone number and KU email are automatically registered (unless you opted out of receiving texts from KU). Students who wish to add a secondary cell phone and/or email address can do so by logging into the system (you must create an account if it is the first time you've logged in, but your primary phone and email will be synced with your account). Faculty, staff and students will be alerted by broadcast email messages from Kutztown University. Additionally, when registering for Omnilert text messages, users can register up to five email addresses to receive emergency messages.
