Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Register Your Bike or Scooter

Registering your bicycle or scooter can increase the chances of it being returned if it is lost or stolen on campus. Registration is free! Be sure to include a detailed description of your bike or scooter, including the serial number, make, model and primary color. 

Bicycle serial numbers can be found on the underside of the crank, headset, rear stays, seat down tube next to crank and the top of the crank. Scooter serial numbers can be found on the side of the deck that riders stand on to ride.

For questions, please contact osupolice@osu.edu.
