🚲 Ride Smart. Ride Safe. VCS. 🔋

Volusia County Schools is launching Ride Smart VCS, a new e-bike and e-scooter safety initiative designed to help students ride to school safely, legally, and with confidence.

🚲 Students who plan to ride an e-bike or e-scooter to a VCS campus must complete the FREE Ride Smart VCS E-Ride Safety Course and receive a permit sticker for their device.

💻 The self-paced online course takes about 30 minutes and covers legal e-bikes and equipment, Florida laws, safe riding practices, crash prevention, and campus rules. Students must use their VCS email address to log in and complete the course.

📅 Important for families: Students riding at the start of the school year have until August 21 to complete the course. After August 21, students must have completed the course and obtained a permit sticker to ride an e-bike or e-scooter to campus.

🪖 Helmets matter: Florida law requires riders under age 16 to wear a helmet, and VCS strongly encourages every rider to wear one.

🔒 When arriving on campus, students must walk their device and park and lock it in the school's designated area. E-bikes and e-scooters may not be brought inside school buildings, classrooms, or hallways.

✅ Ready to get started? Visit our website to enroll, learn more, and complete the course using your VCS student email account.
