Student leader says city should encourage moped use
Iowa City officials are considering cutting down on free parking for mopeds and motorcycles but University of Iowa Student Government leaders say the city should be promoting two-wheeled vehicles.
The Iowa City City Council will vote on whether or not to establish moped parking permits and fees for mopeds at Tuesday night's meeting.
UI Student Government City Council Student Liaison Raj Patel feels strongly about the future of the situation, as well.
“Mopeds are a mode of transportation for, if not hundreds, then thousands of students on campus,” Patel told The Daily Iowan. “I think it is important to promote because they are economical and green.”
