Every day, the USC community zips around campus in many ways. With its fast-paced environment, the campus is a hub of constant movement, and it’s common to see students on skateboards, bicycles and even roller skates. It’s not uncommon to feel a gust of wind as an electric scooter narrowly avoids a crash.

In this “Weekly Frame,” photo editor Ethan Thai and staff photographer Chris Black highlight the different means in which the USC community gets around: the wheels on campus.
