It sort of depends. Mainly, if it's a 50cc engine, the answer is no, because they are unable to go fast enough to be safe in highway traffic. Also, since 50cc scooter (and mopeds) are typically limited by law to a maximum of 30mph (but can usually go somewhat faster), they are not allowed on anything but secondary streets.
Most states require any vehicle to be able to go whatever the posted speed limit is. If the speed limit is faster than 35MPH (the maximum speed for most 50cc scooters), they are illegal on the highway.
Some states are more specific: at the entrances to Interstates (and some other highways), there are signs at on-ramps to the highways listing a number of things not permitted on the highway, one of which is "Scooters less then 10hp".
Scooters with engine sizes of 150cc or greater, of course, typically have cruising speeds of 50mph or greater, and therefore would be allowed on highways.

Can you drive a moped on the highway?
NO! Mopeds generally are 50cc or less. Some states allow highway travel with a minimum of 150cc which is suicidal, unless it can maintain 70mph. Personally I would go no less than 250cc for highway riding, and more like 400cc for long distance touring with or without a passenger and with the ability to pass comfortably at highway speeds.
