Bill > HR6702

This bill, known as the MOVE Act (Micromobility Oversight and Vulnerability Evaluation Act), requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), under the direction of the Secretary of Transportation, to conduct a comprehensive study on the impact of micromobility technologies and high-speed personal transportation devices on road user safety, with a particular focus on children and young adults. The study will examine crash data, including device type, speed, and infrastructure involved, to inform the development of best practices for nonmotorized road users and a public education program. This program will cover safe navigation of streets, consumer information on device speeds and potential modifications, and details on relevant state laws regarding operator age, helmets, insurance, and registration. The bill defines "high-speed personal transportation device" as a motor-driven cycle or personal transportation device with an electric motor over 750 watts or a maximum speed exceeding 20 miles per hour, excluding standard motorcycles, passenger vehicles, or truck chassis vehicles. "Micromobility technology" is defined as small, low-speed personal transportation devices like electric bicycles, scooters, or skateboards, primarily used for short trips, with a maximum speed of 20 miles per hour. The bill also amends existing law to include nonmotorized road user safety concerning emerging micromobility technology as a national priority.
