BOSTON— Boston Police officers from District D-4 launched a vigorous enforcement operation dubbed “Operation Safe Scooter” in the busy areas surrounding Northeastern University. The operation, which focuses notably on Huntington Avenue and Gainsboro Street, aims to crack down on illegal motorcycle usage and safeguard the community.

During the most recent enforcement sweep, officers towed four motorcycles and issued citations for various infractions, including operating unregistered vehicles and riders driving without valid licenses. A summons was issued to the offenders, underscoring BPD's commitment to enforcing the rules of the road.

As part of the initiative, officers have also rolled out educational campaigns over the past weeks to inform riders about the legal operation of scooters and motorcycles within city limits. This dual approach of enforcement and education aims to reduce illegal activities and ensure public safety in this bustling university area.
