Enacted
This bill mandates the Secretary of Transportation, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), to conduct a comprehensive study. This study will examine the effects of personal and platform-based micromobility technologies and high-speed personal transportation devices on injuries and deaths, with a particular focus on children and young adults. It requires reviewing relevant crash data, including device type, speed, infrastructure, and vehicle involvement, to address the current lack of knowledge regarding the safety impacts of these emerging transportation methods. Following the study's findings, NHTSA must develop **best practices** for nonmotorized road users concerning these technologies, considering factors like device type, motor power, maximum speed, and applicable state laws. Concurrently, a **mobility education program** will be created to inform consumers about safe navigation, device specifications such as maximum speed and modifiability, and state-specific regulations. Both the best practices and education program will incorporate the **Safe System Approach** to enhance overall road safety, and the bill also amends national priority safety programs to include nonmotorized road user safety related to emerging micromobility issues.
