The SAFE Ride Act of 2025 directs the federal Department of Transportation to create a grant program that provides funding to states for establishing electric bike safety programs. To qualify for these grants, states must enforce safety rules for shared e-bike systems, educate the public about helmet use and safe e-bike riding, adopt helmet laws based on national standards, collect and report data on e-bike accidents, and support local law enforcement in enforcing these safety measures and targeting unsafe riding by minors. The bill also requires the Department of Transportation to develop national helmet safety recommendations for e-bike riders under 18 and create educational curricula on e-bike safety that states can use. The legislation does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided.
