Foulks Ranch Elementary

We are sharing this flyer as a follow up to the post about law enforcement and E-scooters. Student safety is always a priority.

We are shifting into high gear to address a growing safety concern involving e-bikes and scooters. In collaboration with the Elk Grove Unified School District, we are launching a coordinated, two-pronged initiative aimed at reducing e-bike and scooter collisions as these devices become an increasingly common part of students’ daily commutes. The initiative comes in response to an increase in e-bike and scooter-related collisions and safety concerns near school campuses.

Starting tomorrow, officers from Youth Services, Traffic, Problem Oriented Policing (POP), School Resource Officers (SRO), and Patrol will begin focused efforts at middle and high schools throughout the City of Elk Grove. Officers will contact juveniles riding e-motorcycles, motorized scooters, and Class 3 e-bikes at school bike racks and in surrounding neighborhoods. Officers will also be present during school arrivals and dismissals to engage with students and parents and distribute safety pamphlets.

The first phase of the initiative will consist of a 30-day education campaign. During this period, safety messaging will be shared through ours and Elk Grove Unified School District’s social media platforms to maximize community awareness.

Parents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with e-bike and scooter laws and to speak with their children about legal requirements, the importance of wearing safety equipment, and responsible riding behaviors.

Following the conclusion of the education phase, the department will transition to an enforcement phase. Officers will conduct zero-tolerance enforcement in and around school areas and will take enforcement action when illegal or unsafe operation of e-bikes or scooters is observed.

This combined education and enforcement approach is intended to promote awareness, improve compliance, and ultimately enhance safety for students and the broader community.
