All UCR students, faculty, and staff can register their bikes and scooters at no cost through Transportation Services (TAPS). Registered devices are entered into an internal registry, which can help identify and recover your property if it’s ever lost, stolen, recovered, or impounded.
Scooter Registration
- Complete the online scooter registration form.
- Once registered you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on where to pick up your scooter ID tag.
- For students living in campus housing:
- Only UL Certified scooters (those tested and approved by UL Solutions or a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) are allowed inside campus residences to ensure they meet established safety standards and prevent combustion fires.
- You will be required to bring your scooter to TAPS for UL certification verification. Once approved, you will receive a housing-approved sticker allowing the scooter inside campus housing. If not approved, you may not bring your scooter inside campus housing units and will need to charge your device elsewhere.
Bike Registration
- Complete the online bike registration form.
- Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on where to pick up your DMV bike license and registration stickers from TAPS.
