iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Debate is happening now! We need your continued help in promoting legislation that incorporates #micromobility, speed cameras with data privacy protection, & truck safety to enhance #roadsafety in MA. Learn more about the current legislation here: www.massbike.org/economic_dev... #bikesafety

Update on traffic safety and micromobility legislation: Contact your legislators to approve these provisions. Micromobility provision to the omnibus Economic Development bill establishes a comprehensive framework for micromobility devices, including electric bicycles, by setting definitions and speed tiers, age requirements, safety equipment and electrical standards, and restrictions on modifications that increase speed or power. Amendments related to road safety to the omnibus Economic Development bill include Amendment #215: allows speed cameras with strong data privacy protections (no Flock cameras) in work zones, school zones, and designated "safety zones" within a municipality and Amendment #160: incentivizes truck drivers and companies to install truck safety features like sideguards and convex mirrors.

A huge loss to Louisa's family, friends, and the whole Boston transportation advocacy community. We must push to make streets safer for all vulnerable road users, so that tragic crashes like this can be prevented.

We are heartbroken at Louisa’s death. This preventable tragedy has deprived Boston of a fierce advocate for safe streets. Louisa’s cheerful enthusiasm and drive to make the city safer for vulnerable road users inspired everyone around her. She was an integral part of the biking and transportation community, and an inspiration to everyone lucky enough to know or work with her.

Title "E-moto and bicycle safety"
By Mindy Todd, Amy Vince
Listen 49:23
(photo of an e-bike parked next to a tree)

Quote from Galen Mook on The Point, CAI (NPR): We do have state law that defines e-bikes as the slower speed e-bikes but we’re also seeing these out-of-class vehicles being sold that go up to 30, 35, 40 miles an hour... which are technically, and legally, not e-bikes, but they are being marketed as e-bikes.

What we’re focusing on at MassBike is trying to clarifying what is an e-bike... and the governor has a bill out in the state house right now which would create a tiered system of micromobility.
