Boston's Moped Crackdown Tied to Summer Safety Plan

In response to community complaints about reckless driving, Boston police seized 20 mopeds in the Back Bay and South End areas as part of an ongoing crackdown on unlicensed and uninsured vehicles. This effort is part of Mayor Michelle Wu’s summer safety plan to improve community safety. The crackdown has resulted in 16 criminal complaints filed against offenders and follows previous operations earlier in July, where 22 mopeds were confiscated. The Boston Police Department remains committed to addressing these ongoing issues and educating the public on vehicle regulations. This action is part of a broader initiative, with similar incidents being addressed in other cities including Los Gatos and Temecula.
