MOVE Act

The MOVE Act requires the U.S. Department of Transportation to study how micromobility devices (like e-scooters, e-bikes, and electric skateboards) impact road safety, particularly for children, young adults, and other vulnerable road users. It mandates the creation of best practices and a public education program covering device safety, speed limits (max 20 mph for micromobility), and state laws on age, helmets, and registration. The bill also updates federal safety programs to include emerging micromobility safety issues. It directly affects nonmotorized road users and micromobility device operators by providing safety guidance based on data, not by changing existing laws. The focus is on improving safety awareness through education, not imposing new regulations.
