In accordance with V.C. 21113(f), the use of bicycles, motorized bicycles, electric bicycles, skateboards, electrically motorized boards, and roller skates on the DVC campus is strictly prohibited.
DVC recognizes that students, faculty, and staff use multiple means of transportation to come to campus.

has determined it necessary to do more to enforce the existing policy. Learn about enforcement of this policy.
