House Transportation Committee's Special Subcommittee on Mopeds and
Similar Vehicles
November 17,
2005
The meeting was called
to order by Chairman of the subcommittee Delegate Charles W. Carrico,
Sr.
Chairman Carrico turned the meeting over to Dr. Alan Wambold, staff for
the study, who explained that defining these many different vehicles continues
to be a difficult process because of the growing number of different types
of mopeds and similar machines. Dr. Wambold stated that the City of Charlottesville
submitted to the members of the subcommittee the most comprehensive suggestions
to date. The proposed draft legislation deals with not only the definitions,
but also noise issues and the carrying of passengers and cargo.
Chairman Carrico suggested that staff work with the City of Charlottesville
proposal and draft possible legislation to be introduced in the 2006 Session
of the General Assembly.
NEXT MEETING
Chairman Carrico stated that one more meeting may be necessary, but a
date was not set. When available, the meeting date will be posted on the
General Assembly website.
Chairman:
The Hon. Charles
W. Carrico, Jr.
