Under the proposed N.J. bill, riders of all e-bikes, even the slowest pedal-assist models, would need to license, register, and insure them.

This law is a critical step forward in our mission of ending road fatalities and building a stronger and safer New Jersey.

Mayor Fulop has worked *hard* and *persistently* over the last decade with progress on street redesigns, on the bike lane network, on transportation alternatives. Zero deaths in 2022 but he's kept going. He is about outcomes, not symbolic announcements. He will take that same approach to the state.
