Chief Silva also presented information regarding the enforcement of Illinois Vehicle Code (IVC) statutes related to e-mobility devices through local ordinance citations. Complaints and safety concerns involving e-mobility devices continue to be a challenge for municipalities across the country.

In the meantime, the Department will focus on public safety messaging and, when necessary, enforce relevant IVC violations under the local ordinance with the goal of promoting the safety of both riders and pedestrians. The Department will also coordinate these efforts with local stakeholders. The Committee voiced consensus with Chief Silva’s strategy to address e-mobility devices through public messaging and enforcement when necessary.
