Full summary

This motion, introduced April 15, 2026 by Councilmembers Heather Hutt and John S. Lee with support from Traci Park, directs the city to establish and publish annual data on the safety and welfare impacts of electric micro-mobility devices—specifically e-bikes, e-motos, and electric mopeds—on Los Angeles residents. The underlying concern is to track how the proliferation of these vehicles affects public safety, injury rates, traffic patterns, and overall community welfare as their use grows across the city. The motion was referred to three committees: Public Safety Committee, Rules, Elections and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, and Transportation Committee. The Transportation Committee, the most directly relevant body, approved the item at its April 22, 2026 meeting. The Westside Neighborhood Council submitted a Community Impact Statement on May 14, 2026, reflecting early community engagement on the proposal. As of May 14, 2026, the motion remains pending in all three committees. The file is set to expire April 22, 2028, giving the City Council approximately two years to advance or resolve the matter. No vote by the full Council has occurred yet. The specific data metrics, reporting timeline, and departmental responsibilities have not been publicly finalized in the available records.
