Moped Parking
With rising gas costs, more students are choosing mopeds to get to campus every year. Beginning in 2009, moped owners will purchase the same permits issued to motorcycles.
During the 2009-2010 academic year, mopeds may also still park in bicycle racks, and Parking & Transit will identify locations for and begin creating expanded or new cycle parking areas. Beginning August 2010, mopeds may only park in motorcycle parking areas.
When you are moving from the road to a bicycle rack, you must stop and walk the vehicle once you have left the roadway. In fact, it is illegal to ride on the sidewalk.
How to Park
Yes, we know that you know how to park your moped, but if you are new to parking that moped on campus, here are some helpful tips on moped/motorcycle parking etiquette. We collaborated with a veteran motorcyclist to come up with this list, and hope that it will help you!
The word "moped" is often used interchangeably for "scooter", although they are not technically the same. In Kansas, the legal definition of a moped is a motorized bicycle with an engine capacity of 125 cubic centimeters (cc) or less, less than 3.5 brake horsepower (bhp), automatic transmission, and drives less than 30 miles per hour (mph).
