Bicycle Visibility Legislative Issues

Several bills in the Iowa Legislature try to address bicycle visibility during sunset to sunrise hours and at all times.

TAKE ACTION ON SF2090:

Successor to SF2090. This bill has passed the Senate Transportation Committee and is awaiting debate in the Iowa Senate.

CURRENT POSITION: NEUTRAL

We are neutral SF2090 at this time. While we are supportive of increased visibility at night, we also understand there are access issues especially for low-income and rural populations. However, light technology has improved and costs have lowered. We also believe there is more that could be added to this bill, like a provision to change lanes to pass bicycles that could improve bicycle safety.

ACTION REQUESTED:

No action needed at this time.
