A BILL
To require the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to
conduct a study and develop a public education program on micromobility
technologies, high speed personal transportation devices, and certain
road users, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Micromobility Oversight and
Vulnerability Evaluation Act'' or the ``MOVE Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds the following:
(1) Vulnerable road users represent a disproportionate
number of highway deaths and injuries.
(2) Vulnerable road users should be informed on
interactions with the built environment.
(3) Little is known about the impacts of micromobility
transportation affecting road user safety.
SEC. 3. MICROMOBILITY OVERSIGHT AND VULNERABILITY EVALUATION.
(a) Study.--
(1) In general.--The Secretary of Transportation, acting
through the Administrator of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, shall conduct a study on the effect of
personal and platform-based micromobility technologies and high
speed personal transportation devices on injuries and deaths of
individuals, with a focus on children and young adults.
(2) Crash data.--In conducting the study under paragraph
(1), the Secretary shall review any relevant crash data,
including the technology or device type and speed involved in
crashes, the type of infrastructure on which crashes occurred,
and if vehicles were involved in crashes, the speed of such
vehicles.
(b) Best Practices and Public Education Program.--Based on the
findings from the study conducted under subsection (a), the Secretary
shall--
(1) develop best practices for nonmotorized road users with
respect to micromobility technologies and high speed personal
transportation devices, including best practices based on--
(A) technology or device type;
(B) motor power of the technology or device;
(C) maximum speed of the technology or device on a
paved level surface when powered solely by a motor; and
(D) State laws that may govern operator age, helmet
use, insurance, or registration requirements;
(2) develop a mobility education program containing--
(A) such best practices on how nonmotorized road
users may safely navigate streets; and
(B) consumer information on--
(i) maximum speed of the technology or
device when powered solely by a motor;
(ii) whether the technology or device is
intended by the manufacturer to be easily
modified to attain speeds faster than 20 miles
per hour;
(iii) whether the technology or device is a
class 1 or class 2 electric bicycle (as defined
in section 217(j) of title 23, United States
Code); and
(iv) information on State laws that may
govern operator age, helmet use, insurance or
registration requirements; and
(3) incorporate the Safe System Approach into the best
practices and education program developed under this
subsection.
(c) National Priority Safety Programs.--Section 405(g)(5)(C) of
title 23, United States Code, is amended--
(1) in clause (iii) by striking ``and'' at the end; and
(2) by adding at the end the following:
``(v) nonmotorized road user safety with
respect to emerging micromobility technology
issues; and''.
(d) Definitions.--In this section:
(1) High speed personal transportation device.--
(A) In general.--The term ``high speed personal
transportation device'' means a motor-driven cycle or
any other personal transportation device intended for
use on public highways that--
(i) is powered by an electric motor of
greater than 750 watts; or
(ii) has a maximum speed of more than 20
miles per hour on a paved level surface when
powered solely by a motor.
(B) Exclusion.--The term ``high speed personal
transportation device'' does not included a motorcycle,
passenger vehicle, or vehicle built upon a truck
chassis.
(2) Micromobility technology.--The term ``micromobility
technology'' means a small, low-speed, personal transportation
device, including an electric bicycle (as defined in section
217(j) of title 23, United States Code), electric scooter,
self-balancing electric unicycle, electric skateboard, or other
similar vehicle that is--
(A) electric or human-powered;
(B) primarily used for a short-distance trip or
urban travel; and
(C) has a maximum speed of not more than 20 miles
per hour on a paved level surface when powered solely
by a motor.
(3) Nonmotorized road user.--The term ``nonmotorized road
user'' has the meaning given such term in section 405(g) of
title 23, United States Code.
