City of Henderson Receives Additional Funding to Expand E-Bike and E-Scooter Safety Education

Ride Smart. Stay Safe. Campaign Will Build on First-Year Impact With Expanded Community Outreach

HENDERSON, Nev. (Nov. 9, 2026) - The City of Henderson has received additional grant funding from the Nevada Office of Traffic Safety through its Vulnerable Road User Program to expand community education and awareness surrounding e-bike and e-scooter safety.

The press conference underscored the partnership between the HPD, the City of Henderson and the Clark County School District Police Department to keep students safe during morning and afternoon commutes as the new school year begins. Leaders shared the latest enforcement numbers and outlined what families, students, and the community can expect as enforcement continues throughout the school year.

The funding will support continued outreach through the City's Ride Smart. Stay Safe. campaign, including:

• Helmet and safety equipment giveaways to encourage safe riding
• Youth e-bike and e-scooter skills workshops focused on safety and rules of the road
• Parent and educator webinars to reinforce safe riding expectations and e-device laws
• Social media safety campaigns to educate residents on e-device laws and responsible riding

Launched in August 2025, the Ride Smart. Stay Safe. campaign made a positive impact in its first year, helping residents, particularly youth and families, understand safe riding practices and the difference between legal e-bikes and illegal e-motorcycles.

With support of the grant, the City:

• Hostedfive youth bike & scooter skills workshops with 40+ participants
• Partnered with seven schools for helmet giveaways
• Fitted and gave away 300 helmets and 300 bike lights
• Reachedmore than 900 students and 450 parents through 12 outreach and giveaway events

As e-device use continues to increase among students and teens, the additional grant will allow the City to build on these efforts and continue expanding safety education and awareness to ensure riders and their guardians understand local rules, wear helmets, and ride responsibly.
