An act relating to mandatory instruction in vulnerable user safety and regulation of electric cargo bicycles

This bill requires drivers to complete a vulnerable user safety course before obtaining a driver's license in Vermont, covering topics like respecting pedestrians and cyclists, safe operation near vulnerable road users, and the dangers of distracted driving. It also establishes a legal definition for electric cargo bicycles and mandates that they be regulated the same way as regular electric bicycles, exempting them from motor vehicle registration, licensing, and insurance requirements. Additionally, the bill allows municipalities and state agencies to prohibit electric cargo bicycles on certain bicycle paths and trails, while permitting local restrictions on faster electric bicycle classes for safety reasons.
