SMUSD families: The San Marcos Sheriff's Station will conduct an e-bike safety operation on Wednesday, May 1 at 1:00 p.m. This first operation will focus on the San Elijo area but additional e-bike safety operations are expected to take place in other parts of the city until the end of the year. During the operation, deputies will address any unsafe e-bike activity through enforcement as well as education.

Over the last year, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of e-bike users on the roads, trails and sidewalks in the city of San Marcos. Unfortunately, many e-bike riders do not obey traffic laws and have caused some safety concerns including accidents with serious injuries.

The goal of this operation is to promote safe and responsible e-bike operations on the road. Deputies will strictly enforce the law against violators while educating them on traffic rules and providing safety tips.
