Veo e-Scooters
Purdue University partners with Veo, a micromobility company, to provide rental electric scooters (e-scooters) to the West Lafayette campus community.
Weather dependent, a fleet of several hundred devices is available for use between March and December.
Questions about active Veo rides or issues with the app should be conveyed directly to Veo through the app or by emailing hello@veoride.com or calling 855-VEO-2256 (855-836-2256).
Other questions or concerns related to campus operations and impacts should be directed to parking@purdue.edu.
Get Started
To use one of the e-scooters, an individual must download the Veo – Shared Electric Vehicles app on their smart phone and set up an account, including payment information.
Users will need to take a short quiz through the Veo app upon initiating a rental for the first time and again following the start of each semester. The quiz includes a few questions to promote safety awareness and good behaviors among riders.
Subscriptions with discounted rides are available for frequent users. Individuals can learn more and sign up through the menu in the Veo app.
Rules, Regulations and Safety
E-scooters are classified as electric or motor-powered vehicles (EMPVs), which are covered in section 5 of Purdue’s Traffic and Parking Regulations (PDF). Operators are strongly encouraged to wear a helmet and must follow all state, county, city and Purdue rules and regulations.
Parking and Ending Rides
To end a ride, the device must be placed in an approved parking location with a photo uploaded into the app. The parking assistant in the Veo app will use AI to provide instant feedback about the parking and whether adjustments are needed before the ride can end.
A map of approved parking locations is included in the Veo app. The app will reflect any temporary or permanent adjustments to ride zones and/or parking zones.
If you come across an area that needs more Veo parking space, notify Parking Operations by emailing parking@purdue.edu.
If users experience discrepancies between the parking locations identified through the app and physical bike racks or designated Veo parking areas, they should park according to the app location to end the ride and notify parking@purdue.edu of the issue so it can be resolved.
