Summary: The Joint Committee on Transportation held a hearing on five bills, centered on the governor’s Ride Safe Act and related micromobility legislation. Administration officials from MassDOT and the MBTA described the bill as a first-in-the-nation, speed-based framework for e-bikes, scooters, mopeds, and similar devices, replacing outdated device categories with statewide rules on age, helmets, equipment, operating locations, registration/insurance for higher-speed devices, crash-data reporting, and battery safety standards. They said the goal was to improve safety and consistency without discouraging affordable, multimodal transportation or first-mile/last-mile transit connections. Committee members and several legislators asked about enforcement, data collection, battery fire risks, commuter rail accommodations, and how the bill would apply to shared-use paths. Some members supported the speed-based approach but raised concerns that the bill may need clearer path-speed limits, better education and enforcement tools, and more work on future regulations. Representatives and senators from affected districts testified in support, emphasizing rising complaints, youth injuries, and the need for uniform statewide rules. One senator urged quick action before summer, citing recent local incidents and the rapid growth of e-bike use. The micromobility commission panel, including bicycle, pedestrian, retail, and police representatives, largely supported the bill’s classification framework and crash-data provisions, but urged additional work on default path speed limits, automated enforcement, and funding for safer infrastructure. A police chief stressed the need for education, meaningful penalties, and training for officers. Two pediatric physicians strongly supported the bill but argued it should go further by adding a minimum age for faster devices and a universal helmet requirement, citing severe and increasing child injuries. UL Standards representatives endorsed the battery safety provisions and recommended tighter language requiring certification to recognized standards. Two members of the public who commute on vintage mopeds opposed the bill as written, arguing it unfairly excludes mopeds from micromobility protections and creates inconsistent treatment for similar low-speed vehicles. No votes were taken during the hearing.
