Our 2026 Priorities
Fix ATP: Fund Real Connections – Support AB 2168
AB 2168 strengthens California’s Active Transportation Program by sharpening how projects are chosen, funded, and delivered, moving the program closer to its core purpose: getting more people safely walking, biking, and accessing transit. The bill rewards projects that meaningfully connect people to public transportation, and encourages larger, network-level improvements by aligning additional state transportation funds.
Truth in Biking – Support SB 1167
Electric bicycles are already clearly defined under state and federal law. But increasingly, high-powered “e-motos” — often exceeding 750 watts and capable of motorcycle-level speeds are being marketed and sold as “e-bikes,” especially to youth. SB 1167 draws a clear line. It protects legitimate Class 1, 2, and 3 electric bicycles while requiring higher-powered electric motorcycles and mopeds to be truthfully labeled, properly disclosed, and regulated as motor vehicles. This bill strengthens consumer protections, improves safety standards, and preserves the integrity of e-bikes as a clean, accessible transportation option for Californians of all ages and abilities.
Preserving Safe Bikeways – Support SB 569
California communities are investing in safer streets, but in some cities, newly installed bikeways have been threatened with removal after political backlash. SB 569 authored by Senator Catherine Blakespear would create a clear public process, and a higher standard before a local agency can remove an existing bikeway. CalBike is sponsoring SB 569 because once communities invest in safer streets, those safety gains should not be erased without thorough review and analysis, public accountability, and a full understanding of the risks to people biking, walking, and rolling.
