Due to the heavy increase of two-wheel motorized vehicle such as scooters and mopeds on campus, Parking Services would like to remind the TU community of the two-wheel motorized vehicle policies:
Two wheel motorized vehicles that don't require a license plate must be registered with Parking and Transportation Services. Please go to the Parking & Transportation Services Office with proof of ownership (title or proof of purchase etc.) in order to receive a free permit.
Motorized vehicles, with or without a license plate, must be in authorized parking locations, not in regular four-wheel vehicle spaces. Specifically designated motorcycle/scooter parking is available in all garages, and in Lots 19 and 21 at the Towson Center.
Most motorcycle/scooter areas will include equipment for securing these vehicles in the near future.
Maryland State Vehicle Law 21-1103 prohibits two wheel motorized vehicles from being driven on sidewalks. Effective immediately, operators are subject to citations for driving on sidewalks.
These vehicles cannot be stored at bike racks, around buildings or in buildings.
Failure to comply with these regulations can/may result in the impoundment of two wheel motorized vehicles. A release fee will be required for any impounded two wheel motorized vehicle on campus.
Please visit the MVA's web sitehere for more information about motor scooter operation in Maryland.
