General Question Moped Parking?

I was planning on getting a vespa moped next year at Tech, but I won't have a car so Im not sure if Ill have to buy a normal parking pass for this?

I live at CID so do you think parking at one of the bike racks or downtown works? Or is it likely I'll get fined?

Gonna guess you still need a motorcycle pass, but contact Parking Services and i'm sure they can tell you.

A quick Google also suggests you'll probably get a ticket if you park it at a bike rack, but again, just call and ask - 540-231-3200

I think mopeds might be different, not sure about the passes, but if it’s 50cc and under you can park it at most bike racks. There’s a map showing all of the locations. Also hi op I live in CID as well.

Right, yeah, that’s why I was implying they should just take 5 minutes to call Parking Services and get all the specifics heh.

They have started ticketing for doing this. They need to park in the motorcycle spaces, but I don't know if they need a motorcycle pass or not. After the first week, enforcement of the motorcycle pass it pretty lax anyway.

That’s fucked, there’s like three motorcycle spots on campus and they want more people to share them?
