Free Motorcycle Parking at Muni-Meters – It Can Happen with Your Help!
There is proposed City Council legislation to exempt scooters and motorcycles from paying at Muni-Meters. No more wondering where to put your ticket. No more summonses. No more velcro’ed license plates. Finally: a real solution to parking at meters that were designed only for cars.

We need your help!
The legislation, Int 0860-2012, was proposed by Peter Vallone Jr. of Queens. You can read the text here.

1. Call the bill’s sponsors and tell them you support Int-0860-2012. Tell them you live, work, or shop in their area and that it is a great solution for the constant threat of Muni-Meter violations for motorcycles.

2. Write your city councilman and members of the transportation
committee in support of this bill. You can find your council member’s name and contact information at http://tinyurl.com/nyccouncilmember.

The bill isn’t scheduled for a public hearing yet, but as soon as it is we’ll contact you and solicit your help in telling your councilmember that you’re tired of the tickets, and that motorcycles and scooters are part of the solution to reducing congestion in NYC.

If you know of other ways to help get this legislation passed, tell us in the forum or reply to this e-mail.
