Mandatory Micromobility Registration

It is critical for planning and communication purposes that Transportation Services have a complete and accurate database of micromobility devices and micromobility ownership on campus, which our new registration and permit system will help provide.

We would like to more efficiently communicate with the entire campus micromobility community, and the best way to do that is to have contact information of micromobility owners. This allows us to proactively reach out to micromobility users who might be impacted by an event on campus, such as construction. We will be able to scan the micromobility permit and send specific information to those who will be impacted.

Throughout the year, Transportation Services is asked to cut locks for micromobility owners when the lock fails to unlock for one reason or another. Proof of ownership is required before the lock can be cut. If a micromobility is registered, this is an easy process. If it is not registered, proof of ownership may prove more difficult for the micromobility owner.

There are instances of micromobility theft on campus, and the local and university police would also benefit from a more complete database of micromobility information, and one that includes serial numbers. This allows law enforcement to more easily identify owners of property allowing them to prosecute for theft. If a victim cannot be identified, there is no proof of theft.

There is a $10, one-time registration fee per micromobility device, which is due at the time of registration. No annual registration is required.

The micromobility program has grown considerably over the past several years to include many services, the majority of which are free of charge to students, such as:

• all new micromobility racks
• fix-it stations
• improved micromobility lane designs and markings
• bike share
• borrow a bike
• bike lease
• educational events and hands-on training and assistance

The $10 registration fee will not completely cover the cost of the micromobility programs, however it will help to ensure it can continue for years to come.

• Micromobility owners must login to the My Account portal at and select Micromobility Registration under the My Micromobility header. The registrant will be prompted to fill out corresponding micromobility information, including micromobility make/brand, style, color, and serial number. In addition, there is an opportunity to include photos of the micromobility being registered to use in the event of theft recovery or proof of ownership.
• After registering, a micromobility permit will be mailed to the address listed in the registration form. The registrant is required to place this permit on the registered micromobility device as proof of registration.
• All micromobility devices without the proper placement of a micromobility permit will be subject to enforcement action by Transportation Services.

We ask our visitors to abide by the micromobility rules mandated by the state and the regulations for our campus. At this time, we are not requiring registration for non-affiliated visitors parking micromobility devices on campus.

Micromobility registration is mandatory for all students, faculty, and staff that plan to ride their micromobility on campus.

Mandatory micromobility registration can be completed by logging into the My Account portal select Micromobility Registration under the My Micromobility header.

As soon as the decision to bring a micromobility on campus is made. All micromobility users must comply with the mandatory requirement to avoid enforcement.

Your micromobility may be impounded. In order to get your micromobility released, you will first need to register your micromobility and obtain your permit. Then, email the Sustainable Transportation office at bikes@tamu.edu and schedule an appointment to visit the impound. You will need to bring your permit to the impound, and we will help you apply it to your micromobility. There is no charge associated with retrieving a micromobility from the impound.
