The Micromobility Oversight and Vulnerability Evaluation Act directs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to study how emerging micromobility devices—such as e-bikes, e-scooters, and electric skateboards—affect injuries and deaths, with special focus on children and young adults. Based on the study's findings, the bill requires the agency to develop best practices for safe use of these devices and create a public education program that includes consumer information about device speeds, modification risks, and state regulations regarding helmets, age restrictions, and insurance. The legislation also adds nonmotorized road user safety related to micromobility technology as a national priority safety program eligible for federal funding. The bill affects manufacturers, users of personal transportation devices, and state and local governments that regulate these devices, though it specifies no particular funding amount or deadline for completion.
