"Safe Mobility Education Act"; requires public school instruction on pedestrian, cycling, and motor vehicle safety.

This bill requires New Jersey public schools to include age-appropriate instruction on pedestrian, cycling, and motor vehicle safety in grades K-12 as part of health and physical education. It mandates that the State Board of Education update curriculum standards to cover specific topics like pedestrian basics, helmet use, bike/scooter safety rules, and legal consequences for violations. Teachers must complete a required professional development module on this content, developed with the Department of Transportation. The instruction must be implemented in the first full school year after the updated standards are adopted.
