NJ Senate President Nick Scutari promised a semi-reasonable e-bike regulation bill. But S.4834 goes back to requiring registration, insurance and licensing for the most benign Class 1 e-bikes. #4834 #njleg

Today, I visited Maplewood to sign legislation expanding driver’s education to include lessons on how to safely and responsibly share our streets with pedestrians and cyclists.
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.

the most important election this summer is making sure Cuomo doesn’t become mayor
the second most important election is the NJ Gov primary. Fulop is the only candidate who is unapologetically pro-housing. even more importantly, he will redirect over $10B in highway widening funds to transit

All: I’m backing @stevenfulop.bsky.social for NJ Governor because he gets it. He’s consistently stood against the Turnpike Expansion, supports congestion pricing and actually supports safer, more bikeable, people-centered cities. No flip-flopping; just bold, steady leadership. That’s rare to find.

It is perfectly possible for very young children to cycle through a city to primary school together, as long as you ensure that city has cycle infrastructure that makes it safe for them to do so. This also frees up their parents to be elsewhere and avoid the stresses of fitting the school run in
