Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee · 2026-09-15 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed changes to the Jacksonville Traffic Code, specifically Chapter 804, Part 1 and Part 9. The proposed amendments aim to define 'Electric Bicycles' in line with state law, establish traffic regulations for their use, and set a 10 MPH speed limit on sidewalks. Additional proposed rules include age restrictions for riders, mandatory helmet use for younger operators, prohibitions on unsafe operation, and penalties for violations. This item is currently pending review by the Transportation, Energy & Utilities Committee. While no construction is involved, these changes could impact businesses that sell or service electric bicycles, as well as potentially influence future infrastructure planning related to bicycle use. Early awareness allows businesses to prepare for potential shifts in regulations and market demand.
