MOVE Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The MOVE Act directs DOT through NHTSA to study how personal and platform-based micromobility technologies and high-speed personal transportation devices affect injuries and deaths, with a focus on children and young adults. NHTSA must review crash data including device type, speed, infrastructure, vehicle involvement, and vehicle speed. Based on the study, NHTSA must develop best practices for nonmotorized road users by device type, motor power, maximum powered speed, and state rules for operator age, helmets, insurance, or registration. It must create a mobility education program with safe-street practices and consumer information on speed, modification potential above 20 miles per hour, e-bike class, and state law requirements, and incorporate the Safe System Approach. The bill also amends section 405(g) to include nonmotorized road user safety for emerging micromobility technology issues.
Who Benefits and How
Children, young adults, nonmotorized road users, parents, schools, local safety planners, and consumers benefit from better crash data, best practices, and safety education for e-bikes, scooters, unicycles, skateboards, and high-speed personal transportation devices.
Who Bears the Burden and How
NHTSA staff must run the study, analyze crash data, develop best practices, produce consumer education, and integrate the Safe System Approach. Micromobility manufacturers and platform operators may face more scrutiny over device speed, power, modification potential, age rules, helmet rules, insurance, and registration requirements.
Key Provisions
- Requires NHTSA to study micromobility and high-speed personal transportation device injury and death risks.
- Directs review of crash data by device type, speed, infrastructure, vehicle involvement, and vehicle speed.
- Requires best practices and consumer education for nonmotorized road users using the Safe System Approach.
- Expands section 405 nonmotorized road user safety activities to include emerging micromobility technology issues.
