Part 5/10:
- Education: Outreach programs targeting parents, schools, and riders to raise awareness about safety risks.
An impressive 81% reduction in unlawful device use demonstrates the program’s success. Greg highlighted that increased compliance has also positively influenced the community's habits, with more residents opting for traditional pedal bikes and safer transportation modes.
Challenges and Community Feedback
While the initiative has garnered support, some pushback was inevitable. A portion of residents and parents expressed concern over the regulation approaches, fearing overreach or restrictions on fun. However, Greg emphasized that safety remains paramount: "Our primary concern is making sure people are safe. We’re not against the devices but want responsible use."
