__SALUTATION__

Even before the State of Emergency for bike, e-bike, and traffic safety was introduced in Encinitas and Carlsbad, I have been working on ensuring bike and e-bike safety in the State of California.

Given the recent tragedies, I will be introducing legislation next week to create an e-bike license and increase safety guardrails for e-bike users, especially among minors.

As a mother and environmentalist, I want to see more people safely being able to use bikes and e-bikes.

The introduction of new legislation must come in parallel to working with all of the stakeholders and agencies in the fall to move this bill early next year.

Cheers,

Assemblymember Tasha Boerner
Assemblymember, 77th District
