E-Scooters Banned From OC Schools | Orlando News

Orange County schools just banned e-scooters and e-bikes on campuses — but with a twist: teens with learner’s permits can still ride. The move, aimed at boosting safety for 11,800 students who rely on these bikes for daily commutes, sparked debate among parents. Critics argue the ban won’t reduce risk, just relocate it — especially since Florida law already mandates helmets for riders under 16. Officials admit enforcement will be tough and are turning to parents and a new online safety program to fill the gap. The ban kicks in gradually at the start of the school year, with plans to align rules regionally for a bigger safety net.
