The meeting highlighted ongoing legislative efforts to regulate e-bike classifications, licensing, and safety equipment, as well as local initiatives such as school outreach programs and public safety campaigns funded by grants. Attendees were encouraged to report violations to CHP's problem-oriented policing team, which actively partners with schools and communities to address illegal use and safety issues.
