Saudi university introduces electric scooters for campus mobility

To ensure safe scooter usage, the initiative includes educational programmes and collaboration with local authorities, including the Mecca Mayoralty, the Transport General Authority, and Kidana Development Company.

The project will initially roll out on campus, including pedestrian walkways, parking lots, and near Mount Al Rahma in Arafat, and expand to other areas.

Umm Al Qura University has contributed by setting up four scooter stations on campus with 30 electric scooters available for students. Additionally, 70 electric scooters have been provided to over 1,100 participants in the initiative through Wadi Mecca for Technology Company, the university’s investment arm. This initiative promotes sustainable transportation and aligns with efforts to enhance urban mobility in Mecca.
