U of Kentucky Police buy Vectrix scooters

I found a set of articles while looking for Vectrix news that had me scratching my head. FWIW I graduated from the U of Kentucky a while back ... This would be normal news if it weren't so close to the bankruptcy filing. In any case the articles say it will help the U of KY's sustainability efforts, that they've already put the motorcycles into service, that it will improve their response time especially in areas inaccessible to patrol cars or their harley motorcycles. I imagine that the last point means they'll be taking the motorcycles onto campus walkways? UK's campus is in Lexington KY and has its share of walkways weaving throughout the campus.

UK Police Department Blue Goes 'Green' - if you don't get that allusion, U of KY's teams are "Big Blue"

Yeah, but watch out for the steep stairs in the lecture halls...

(We actually just did a presentation at University of Michigan with a couple of bikes at the front of a lecture hall. It was my first time in a lecture hall in a long time!)
