Massachussetts Petition For Parking For Scooters and Motorcycles
Target:
Mayor Thomas Menino
Sponsored by:
Currently, there are very few options for legally parking motorcycles and scooters over 50cc (which require registration and a license plate) in the City of Boston. Commuting on these vehicles is an excellent way to support the environment and reduce our dependancy on foreign oil.
These vehicle have few if any viable options. By law they cannot be parked on the sidewalk and most of the parking garages do not permit motorcycles or scooters. The few garages that do allow these vehicles typically charge the same rate that they charge for a car, which is absurd. Parking at meters is also not an option as they typically have a 2 hour limit and the new prepaid meter stations require you to display the receipt on the inside window of your car. There is no secure way to display the receipt on a motorcycle or scooter. Additionally drivers of car's resent a motorcycle of scooter taking up a street space intended for a car.
Other cities have effectively solve for this issue. The best example is San Francisco which provides both motor cycle stalls and meters. Where a meter for a car costs between $1.50-$3.00 per hour, the rates for a motorcycle are between $0.10 and $0.25 per hour. See the link below

In signing this petition you are supporting our effort to request that Mayor Menino and Governor Patrick Duval help solve for this issue. Probably the least complicated and expensive solution is for the city to offer permits for motorcycles and scooters to park on the street in any legal parking spot, city owed parking lots or in areas specially designated for these vehicles. These permits could include a sticker to be adhered to the vehicle and could be a revenue producer for the city. This is just one option and we could work with the city to come up with other viable solutions.
But the first step is to highlight the fact that this is an issue and there are sufficient numbers of individuals who would benefit from solving for it.

So what's going to happen now? We're going to start battling for spaces on the street with 4-wheel vehicles? Is this going to lead to laying down more cement to make parking spaces for all of us? Cyclists use the road, best start charging them to be fair. So much for being green. Keep sidewalks available too!

Being able to park on the sidewalk was one of the main reasons why I bought my scooter. Also, if this ban goes through, many local shops that have opened within the past couple years as well as shops that have invested in the emergent scooter trend will take a very hard hit within this already hard economy.

Lack of sidewalk parking will discourage me to use my scooter and will encourage me to use my car. Please consider a greener environment!

Motorcycles are more fuel efficient than cars (including Hybrids!) they create less traffic and usually the people driving them are better, more alert drivers. All states including MA should encourage motorcyclists to ride not drive to work.

What is this really all about??? I don't get it....The city wants to charge people who have finally found a way around the complete obsurdity that parking in Boston presents!! If this is about trying to gain revenue...it is a small way that will create a big pain in the scooter!!

I own and ride a motorcycle and have two choices for parking in Boston - park illegally or don't bring my bike into Boston. In this day & age, this is absurd. You can easily park 8 bikes in one car spot. Garages won't accept bikes, apparently because of something that occurred 40 years ago!

I would happily pay for a permit, especially if it were good for the state not just the city of Boston. I am concerned, however, about the need for something to lock scooters to if we ultimately end up with an on-street parking solution. It is too easy to pick them up and move, or steal them. On the sidewalks we can at least lock to posts for bicycles to lock to. Where sidewalk parking is allowed for scooters I'd like to see the rules modified to be based on physical size rather than engine displacement or top speed. There are many scooters that take up just as little space as their 50cc cousins but are prevented from using sidewalk parking because of engine displacement or top speed.

It would be a good green initiative to have a more proactive and legal parking solution within Boston. The current situation is not tenable. Thanks for your efforts.

For a city which is already known for parking issues and WANTS to be known as being green - this new law is beyond ridiculous and does not solve any of the issues it proposes to. Nor does it include bicyclists for whom most of the accidents caused by this community even go unreported so the statistics aren't even close to accurate. I stop at traffic lights and follow road signs and do not "travel" on sidewalks however I cannot say the same about a bicycle! This law discriminates for the sole purpose of raising revenue through the wasteful paper ticketing process!

Consider the amount of gas bikers save each year averaging 30-50 mpg. Consider how much more would be saved if we had an affordable means of parking in the city. Consider how much parking space would be saved if more city visitors are able to park their bikes

Scooters can be picked up and thrown in the back of a pick up truck. Laws cannot force riders of scooters to park anywhere that a scooter cannot be secured, nor discourage scooter riding by making parking inconvenient.

I bought my scooter last year for two reasons: being able to park on the sidewalk and easily get around the city, and to protect the environment. This new law going into effect has destroyed the purpose of buying a scooter, and has created more of a parking issue for Boston. Where am I going to park it without the fear of it getting stolen????

Scooter owners made the choice to drive a small slow vehicle because of the benefits and now the state wants to reduce those benefits and increase cost of owning a scooter for no other reason than the state is in need of money. Why not increase taxes on the commercial vehicles?

I've driven scooters for three years in this fine city, and have been harrassed quite a bit, but lately there hasn't been much activity besides continued theft of scooters. Those of us riding scooters and bicycles and using Zip cars for bigger trips are adding to the environmental cause, and decreasing the congesting of traffic and the millions of people in cars clogging up the roads and killing the air. If you make it MORE difficult to park, to recover stolen vehicles, to get quality insurance and to feel side while we're riding or driving, plus make it difficult to register vehicles properly without ridiculous restrictions that just make it harder to do the green things, you are cutting off your nose to spite your face. The Commonwealth is a leader in a multitude of social issues and we should catch up with other places sooner rather than later.

I dont want my scooter stolen by parking in the street. It happens. Do some research on scooters before laws are passed. It's just ignorant not to do your research.

This is the first i have heard of this law! Scooters take up less space and use much less gas than cars! Maybe some more research should have gone into this.

If the state of MA is trying to help the cause of going green, this is definately one of the best opportunities. Especially since there isn't any great public transporation, including Boston, since there always since to be something going wrong with the T and the communter rail, I can say this from personal experience of attending college in Boston.

1) It was hidden from us since January. 2) RMV doesn't know about it 3) Cities and Towns don't know aobut it 4) To stop scooters running red lights is not a valid concern, bicycles run red lights all the time, though that is illegal as well. Bicycle owners are not being forced to pay for insurance, registration, and yearly inspections. 5) This law is stifling alternative modes of transportation. These class of scooters get over 70 miles per gallon on average. This law unfairly targets 50cc and smaller scooter owners, specifically. There are no public safety issues being solved by this.
