# Motorcycle and Scooter Locksmith at Westmont College

Westmont requires a permit for every motorcycle and scooter and names the exact spots they may use. Tell us upper or lower campus and we come to the bike.

Business: The Motorcycle Locksmith, mobile motorcycle locksmith. Phone and text: (805) 429-8452 (Ventura County and Santa Barbara side).

Westmont College is a small residential campus in the Montecito foothills, reached by Cold Spring Road and La Paz Road above Highway 192. It is wooded, hilly and surrounded by private homes, and its parking is governed by a Santa Barbara County conditional use permit that caps how many student and employee vehicles may use Cold Spring Road. That makes the rules here stricter than at most colleges, for motorcycles and scooters as much as for cars.

We are a mobile locksmith that works only on motorcycles and scooters: lost key replacement, transponder key programming, broken key extraction, and ignition, seat and gas cap lock repair at the bike. On a campus with rules like these, a stranded bike should be dealt with promptly and in the open, with the college informed. Have photo ID and registration or title ready. What follows is taken from Westmont's published transportation and parking regulations. Check with Housing and Parking Services or Campus Safety for the current version.

## Westmont's rules for motorcycles, scooters and mopeds

- Each one must have a valid Westmont permit to be parked on campus, and current DMV registration where the state requires it. The permit is charged at half the regular rate.
- A student may not have both a car and a motorcycle or scooter on campus.
- First-year students are not eligible to apply for a permit and are told not to bring a car.
- On upper campus, motorcycles and scooters park in the specific spots by the Campus Store.
- On lower campus, they use the designated spaces near the VK (Van Kampen) bike rack or the Armington D bike rack.
- Parking in any other bike rack is prohibited unless Campus Safety or Housing and Parking directs it, and bikes may not be kept inside residence halls.
- An unpermitted motorcycle, moped or scooter can be cited and fined, can have a boot put on a tire, and can cost the owner future parking privileges.

## Why a lost key should not wait here

Westmont says its parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A bike that is in the wrong place because it would not start, or that sits untouched for weeks, attracts attention. The regulations also say a non-operational vehicle that has not been moved in 90 days can be towed by the college at the owner's expense. A motorcycle with no key is non-operational in every practical sense, so tell Housing and Parking what has happened and when the key is being made.

Leaving the bike on a neighborhood street instead is not a way around this. Under the county permit, students may not park near the college, on neighboring streets or elsewhere in Montecito unless the vehicle is at their own off-campus home.

## Access for our vehicle

The published regulations do not spell out where a vendor's vehicle may stop, so do not assume we can drive up to the bike. Call Campus Safety before we come, explain that a locksmith is coming to a permitted motorcycle or scooter you own, and ask where a service vehicle should stop. The campus speed limit is 15 miles an hour, enforced by Campus Safety, and the regulations give the limit on Cold Spring Road as 35, or 25 when children are present.

## Local notes for Westmont College riders

- Say upper campus or lower campus and which bike rack you are near. The motorcycle spots are small and tied to those racks.
- Have your Westmont permit visible on the bike when we work on it. A locksmith at an unpermitted scooter invites questions.
- The campus is on a wooded slope and paths are steep. If the steering is locked and the key is gone, leave the bike where it is and do not try to coast it to a better spot.

## Westmont College motorcycle key FAQ

### Where are motorcycles and scooters allowed to park at Westmont?

Westmont's regulations name the spots by the Campus Store on upper campus, and on lower campus the designated spaces near the Van Kampen bike rack or the Armington D bike rack. A valid Westmont permit is required.

### I lost my only scooter key on campus. Can you make one there?

Yes, if Campus Safety is told and we can get to the scooter. Call them first, then tell us where a service vehicle may stop. Bring photo ID and the registration or title.

### Can I move my scooter to a street off campus until the key is made?

Westmont's rules, which follow its county permit, prohibit student parking on neighboring streets and elsewhere in Montecito unless it is at your own off-campus residence. Leave it in its permitted spot and let Housing and Parking know.

### I am a visiting parent on a motorcycle and my key broke in the ignition. Do the student rules apply to me?

The permit rules described here are the ones for students, and the published regulations do not spell out visitor motorcycle parking. Tell Campus Safety where the bike is, and call us to extract the broken key and cut a new one.
