Moped & motorcycle parking on campus.
Student Permit Holder Requirements
All student moped/motorcycle permit purchasers are required to fill out this form, in order to have their account set up to purchase a moped/motorcycle parking permit for the upcoming semester.
How the application process works:
- Fill out the form
- Students will receive an email within 2-3 business days with instructions to go online and purchase a permit.
- Permit must be picked up at the parking office in QLC 014.
- Permit must be displayed on moped or motorcycle.
- Permit holders must park in their assigned Zone; Upper, Commuter OR Housing. There are also some All Permits lots that are shared. See Map here!
Why are we bringing back this requirement?
- Protecting you, the moped owner: If your moped is stolen while parked on campus, clear proof of ownership is crucial for processing a report and filing an insurance claim.
- Legal responsibility when you, the moped owner, sell the moped: You are free to sell your moped to whomever you want, but according to Hawaii State law, the registration must be changed into the new owner’s name to protect you from being liable for citations received by the new owner.
- Responsibility for citations: The owner of a moped is responsible for any citations received. By knowing who the actual owner is, Commuter Services can identify who is ultimately responsible for any citations and will not be pursuing collection from the wrong party.

Students are only allowed to purchase one permit for moped. Moped/ Motorcycle zones are established in order to manage available inventory. Approximately 300 permits are sold per moped/ motorcycle zone.
When selling or giving a moped to someone else, the seller/registered owner signs line 1 on the Certificate of Registration and indicates the date of sale or release. The buyer/recipient must take the completed document(s) to any satellite city hall on Oahu within 30 days of the date of sale/release to transfer ownership, pay the transfer fee, and receive an updated moped registration.The seller/registered owner must also submit a completed Form CS-L(SS)215, Bicycle/Moped Notice of Transfer, within 10 days of sale/release; failure to do so can result in a fine of up to $100.
