Motorcycle and Scooter Locksmith at Moorpark College

Moorpark College sits on a hillside at the east edge of Moorpark, just north of Highway 118 at Collins Drive. Campus Road climbs the hill from Collins Drive to the main student lots, and the campus roads signed Stadium Way, Gym Road and Zoo Drive lead toward the stadium, the gym and America's Teaching Zoo. There is a parking structure with the campus police station right beside it.

One thing sets this campus apart from the other two district colleges. The district states that there is no off-campus parking on the perimeter roads here, and the neighborhoods nearby require a City of Moorpark residential permit. A bike without a key cannot simply be rolled to the curb outside. We come to it instead. We are a mobile locksmith for motorcycles and scooters, and we cut keys, program transponders and repair locks on site, after checking photo ID and registration or title.

How parking works on the hill

The Ventura County Community College District Police manage the lots. Permits are virtual and linked to a license plate, they are required of motorcycles as well as cars, and a district permit bought for Moorpark is also good at the Ventura and Oxnard campuses. Permits are required in student and staff areas from 7 in the morning to 11 at night, Monday through Friday, and the Vehicle Code and district rules on fire lanes, no-parking zones and disabled spaces apply at all hours.

The district marks motorcycle areas in various lots with MOTORCYCLE or MOTORCYCLE ONLY paint. Those areas are limited to two and three-wheeled motor vehicles with a valid permit, and the district encourages riders to use them, though a rider may choose an ordinary stall. Diagonal stalls are head-in only and backing into them is not allowed, which matters if you normally back a bike to the curb.

Left overnight or left for days

The district does not allow overnight parking unless its police department has given permission, apart from genuine college events. An overnight vehicle without permission is treated as abandoned and may be towed if unclaimed after 72 hours. Towing is also possible for a vehicle that blocks traffic or emergency equipment, or one that has five or more unanswered citations.

Because there is nowhere legal to move the bike nearby, the practical step is to stop at the police station next to the parking structure, explain that the key is lost and that a locksmith is coming, and ask them to note it.

Local notes for Moorpark College riders

Do not park in the residential streets around the college to wait for help. They are permit streets under city rules, and the district warns students about them.
Parking structures can swallow a phone signal. If the call drops, step out to the open deck or the police station side and try again.
The lots are on a slope. Park the bike in gear with the bars turned, and if it has gone over, tell us, because a fall can damage the ignition or bend the key in it.

Moorpark College motorcycle key FAQ

Is there street parking outside Moorpark College where I can leave my motorcycle?

No. The district says there is no off-campus parking on the roads around the college, and the surrounding neighborhoods require a City of Moorpark residential permit. Keep the bike in a campus lot and let campus police know if it cannot be moved.

Where is the campus police station?

It is on Campus Road, immediately next to the parking structure. That is also a good meeting point if you cannot describe exactly which lot the bike is in.

Can you program a new chipped key in a parking structure?

Yes, as long as we can get our equipment to the bike. Programming is done through the bike itself, so it does not matter that it is indoors. Tell us the level and the nearest stairwell or elevator.
