If your family uses e-bikes or motorized scooters to get around the
community, there is an important update you will want to know about before August.
The Danville Town Council has adopted a new ordinance requiring riders of electric bicycles and motorized scooters to dismount and walk their devices while inside all Town parks. The new rule takes effect August 6, 2026. Riders are still welcome to bring their e-bikes into parks — they simply may not be ridden within park boundaries. The ordinance is designed to help Danville’s parks remain safe and comfortable spaces for people of all ages to walk, play, gather and enjoy recreation. As e-bikes have grown increasingly popular throughout the community, the Town wants to make sure all riders understand how the new rules will affect their park use before it goes into effect.
Over the coming weeks the Town will launch a community education campaign that includes new signage at Town parks and outreach through local communication channels. The Town is also working directly with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and local schools to make sure students and families are informed before the new school year begins.
Please take a moment to share this information with family members who ride e-bikes — especially kids heading back to school this fall. For more information and frequently asked questions visit danville.ca.gov/NotMyKid
