Campus Safety Tips, Career Connections, and Entrepreneurship Week at Georgia Tech

Campus Safety Tips from GTPD

The Georgia Tech Police Department is refreshing the community’s knowledge of campus safety resources. Bikes, e-scooters, and other micromobility devices count as vehicles under Georgia law, so riders should follow traffic rules, yield to pedestrians, and secure devices with a U-lock. Bike registration has moved under Parking and Transportation Services and is free, and GTPD’s online Ride Smart course earns a free helmet. The team also recommends the LiveSafe app, registering valuables, walking in well-lit areas, and using the Stingerette, the Yellow Jacket Voucher Program, or 24/7 GTPD safety escorts. Read the full tips from Georgia Tech News.
