City of Boise E-Mobility Task Force

The City of Boise E-Mobility Task Force convened on September 22, 2026, to discuss ongoing efforts related to e-mobility safety, regulations, and public engagement. Key procurement-related topics included the review and distribution of the "Speed Demon" public safety campaign materials, developed in partnership with local healthcare providers and Boise State University, aimed at promoting safer speeds and helmet use among e-mobility device users. The task force also discussed the upcoming Ridge to Rivers survey, which includes a new e-mobility section to gather data on device usage and inform future policy. While no direct contract awards or vendor selections were made, the group emphasized the importance of clear, consistent communication and coordination with city staff and community partners for effective implementation. Discussions also touched on regulatory challenges, such as classification and speed limits for different classes of e-bikes, and the potential impact on enforcement and public safety. The task force planned further engagement with Boise Parks and Recreation and Boise Police Department in October to refine recommendations and enforcement strategies. No specific budget allocations or capital projects were detailed during this meeting.
