roadways to be titled and
registered by July 1, 2014, but
moped owners can jump start the
process this summer. DMV will
begin titling and registering
mopeds on July 1, 2013. A
moped title is $10. The annual
registration fee is $20.25.
At the request of General
Assembly, DMV established an
ongoing work group to study a
number of non-conventional ve-
hicles including mopeds. Ac-
cording to the Non-Conventional
Vehicles Study, the number of
mopeds on Virginia roads has
increased significantly as a result
of the rising cost of gas, along
with the affordability and avail-
ability of mopeds. With the
increased number of mopeds
sharing our roads, there has been
an increase in the number of
concerns expressed from the
public. Law-enforcement, and
traffic safety advocates regard-
ing the proper use of mopeds,
their safety on the roads, and the
existing laws surrounding the
operation of mopeds on public
streets.
Under current law, the lack
of any identifying information
on a moped makes them nearly
impossible to recover after theft
and complicates identification of
the vehicle and operator in the
event of a crash. For example, a
member of the law enforcement
community recounted a situation
where it took a few days to
identify a victim who had died in
