National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in October 2022 stated that Florida ranked fourth
in the percentage of pedestrian fatalities in 2020; and
WHEREAS, Collier County has a significant government interest in pedestrian and
bicyclist safety and this ordinance regulates conduct for the purpose of promoting pedestrian and
bicyclist safety; and
WHEREAS, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
Crash Dashboard website at https://www.flhsmv.gov/traffic-crash-reports/crash-dashboard/, in
2022, there were 172 bicycle crashes in Collier County, resulting in 4 fatalities, and 164 injuries
suffered, as well as, 190 pedestrian crashes resulting in 5 fatalities, and 122 injuries suffered(this
data covers crashes occurring between January 1, 2022 and December 29, 2022); and
WHEREAS, the Florida Statutes expressly authorize local authorities such as Collier
County to regulate the operation of bicycles and electric bicycles within their jurisdiction and
within the reasonable exercise of their police power under the State Uniform Traffic Control

vehicles and both pedestrian and bicycle travelers; and
WHEREAS, there has been a noticeable increase in the operation of electric bicycles on
public sidewalks in Collier County,which presents enhanced opportunities for crashes and injuries
with other pedestrian travelers upon those sidewalks, due in part to the steady accelerated speed

Good Afternoon,
Commissioner Kowal has conducted additional research on e-bikes and discovered that,according to Florida
Statute, e-bikes exceeding 750 watts—often referred to unofficially as Class 4 e-bikes—are illegal. Based on this,
he proposes adding a provision to the ordinance stating that e-bikes producing more than 750 watts of power are
prohibited in Collier County.
