Officials want more on campus mo-ped awareness

An increase in the use of mo-peds on campus has led to a greater awareness for the safety of students and faculty.

Mo-peds are an inexpensive mode of transportation, and with the rising gas prices, they are a better option for students than a car, according to UW-Oshkosh Police Chief Michael Melland.

Mo-peds are also more convenient because they can be parked in the bike racks or in any designated motorcycle space with a valid permit.

Permits cost $8 a semester or $15 for the year, according to Parking Manager at Oshkosh Nancy Bielak.

“The thing that I am the most concerned with is the people driving them through campus,” Melland said. “Some have been seen driving on the strip between Polk and Dempsey. It’s the irresponsibility of the drivers that causes safety problems.”
