Statement from the Ranking Member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on the removal of bike lanes, road diets, and speed cameras from the list of FHWA Proven Safety Countermeasures. #VisionZero

For Immediate Release: July 16, 2026
Ranking Member Larsen Statement on Trump Administration Roadway Safety Attacks

Washington, D.C.—Today, House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure Ranking Member Rick Larsen (D-WA) released the following statement after reports that the Trump administration stripped bike lanes, speed cameras and more from the Federal Highway Administration’s list of Proven Safety Countermeasures.

"Attacking proven safety measures makes no sense in the middle of a roadway safety epidemic that killed more than 36,000 Americans last year," Ranking Member Larsen said. "Bike lanes have proven to cut crashes by one-third on two-lane roads and nearly in half on four-lane roads. Meanwhile, speed cameras reduce crashes by as much as half. It’s not political to say bike lanes and speed cameras improve safety; it’s a statement of fact. I’ve requested a briefing from FHWA to explain this decision.”

NJ MVC continues the rocky rollout of e-bike registration with an impossible task for out-of-state visitors (only NJ Residents can register their bikes). www.nj.gov/mvc/vehiclet...

E-Bike Out of State Residents
Planning a trip to New Jersey with your e-bike? Here’s what you need to know! Riders must be at least 15 years old and have a valid license. If you’re bringing your own e-bike, just remember to register it with the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). For motorized bicycles, you’ll need to get insurance before registration. Low-speed e-bikes don’t require insurance, though they still need to be registered. Safe travels and enjoy your ride!

One way to limit compliance: Ban people with suspended DL's. A Rutgers University study showed that around 300,000 New Jersey residents are driving with a suspended license right now.

Individuals with suspended licensing privileges cannot obtain
an e-bike/moped license under N.J.A.C. §13:25‑3.4.

he University is committed to achieving carbon neutrality for all campus emissions by 2046 as well as support sustainable action at all scales, from personal to global.

In New Jersey, more than 40% of greenhouse gas emissions come from the transportation sector, with significant climate and human health implications, particularly for overburdened communities. Through Revise Your Ride and the Campus Mobility Framework, the University looks to double the percentage of alternative commuters and expand the use of campus as an incubator for lifelong sustainable transportation habits

We were hoping that the City would experiment with the Confi-Bike (Mexico City) lane separators on 13th St. multisenal.com.mx/wp-content/F...

WHAT IS THE CONFI-BICI 40 BOLLARD?
Channelizers and markers are the most simple, easiest and
reliable way to confine bicycle-protected-tracks through
main routes and else, so cyclist can access to a secure and
safe room to develop their activity.
Channelizers helps cyclist to travel in a delimited lane well
signalised, taking down accident cases to a desirable zero,
just because any vehicle driver can´t ignore the special
distribution of roadstead perfectly visible during day or
night, thanks to all kind of resources used for this purpose
and specially engineered for the task.
This equipment is also a solution in narrow streets or
corridors where you can combine your planned marks with
this Confi-bici-40 bollard for main avenues, with its
counterpart, more narrow model Confi-bici-25 just 10 inches in length for corridors.

NJ Residents Here is a phone script from @bikejc.org on the damaging e-bike bill that is about to be put to a full legislative vote on Monday. A6235/S4834 Call your Assembly Members and Senator today. www.njleg.state.nj.us/legislative-...

Hi, my name is ________ and I live in _________.

I’m calling to register my opposition to (IF ASSEMBLY) Bill A6235 (IF SENATE) Bill S4834, which would require licenses and registration to operate low-speed e-bikes. License and registration laws for e-bikes will not address roadway fatalities, but it will create barriers to bike use, leading to more car traffic, more pollution, and more dangerous roads in New Jersey. The number-one source of over 500 fatalities and 3,000 serious injuries on New Jersey's roadways in 2025 were cars. Please vote no and ask your colleagues to do the same.

(if leaving a message): If you have any questions, I’d be happy to talk and can be reached at ______.

Statement on the crash from the Philadelphia Police Crash Investigation Division.

Fatal Bicycle Crash Report – September 2, 2025
A preliminary investigation details a tragic incident in the 16th District on Belmont Avenue, where a bicyclist was fatally struck by a vehicle. Two cars—a black Dodge Charger and a black Chrysler—were reportedly speeding northbound when one collided with the cyclist traveling east on Avenue of the Republic. The impact caused critical injuries, and the victim was later pronounced dead at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center at 10:24 am. Police observed one of the vehicles on the 3200 block of Sedgley St shortly after the crash and seized the vehicle for further examination. No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing.
