Summary

This bill would require the Department of Transportation (DOT) to create a pilot program for the abatement of unsafe operation of pedal-assist bicycles. Pedal-assist bicycle operators who accrue 3 or more moving violations under city law would be required to take a safe pedal-assist bicycle operation course offered by DOT. If a pedal-assist bicycle operator fails to complete the course, any pedal-assist bicycle in the possession of such operator may be seized and impounded until such operator submits proof that they have completed the safe pedal-assist bicycle operation course. DOT would be required to report on the number of pedal-assist bicycle operators who completed the course, the number of pedal-assist bicycles impounded, and the effectiveness of the program. The pilot program would expire after 3 years.
