NYSPTA Presents a LIVE Webinar on a timely subject

Understanding New York’s E-Bike Laws - Who Can Ride What Where

E-bikes, e-scooters, and other new e-mobility devices offer exciting opportunities to improve health, reduce congestion, cut emissions, and expand affordable transportation options for New Yorkers, but they also raise new questions and challenges for communities and campuses. Join Anne Savage, Executive Director of the New York Bicycling Coalition, for a practical overview of New York’s current e-bike laws, including who can (legally) ride what and where. We’ll also discuss new laws under consideration in the NYS Legislature and share ideas for how your campus or community can best navigate the rapidly changing e-mobility landscape.

Our guest presenter, Anne Savage
Executive Director of the New York Bicycling Coalition

👉 Session Topic:
Designing the Modern Parking Management System
What You'll Learn: This is a look at how to evolve your parking operation into the present. This isn’t about perfect systems—it’s about making the systems you already have smarter, more connected, and a lot more useful. The focus is on building a connected view of your operation, where data isn’t just collected, but cleaned up, normalized, and turned into something you can actually use to make decisions.
