Episode 14.1 of the Streetsmart Podcast focuses on the active transportation and transit legislation moving—or stalling—in Sacramento.
One main focus of this year’s bike/walk safety legislative energy is on regulating e-bikes, including efforts to distinguish legal e-bikes from high-speed electric motorcycles. CalBike’s Jared Sanchez, reviews three pieces of legislation. One deals with licensing. Another works to clarify what is and isn’t an e-bike. The third would allow municipalities to create separate speed limits for different vehicles. You can read Streetsblog’s coverage of e-bike legislation here, here, and here.
Also joining the conversation were Eli Lipmen with Move California and Adriana Rizzo with Californians for Electric Rail.
Lipmen advocated expanding automated bus-lane enforcement to include bike lanes, creating a statewide transit stop registry to improve data consistency.
