Transportation Advisory Board - Sep 21, 2026
The city's e-scooter and e-bike rules go to the City Commission for final approval September 23. Board members want consistent speed limits, broader helmet requirements, decals for accountability, and clearer enforcement so rules match what Orange County and the schools are doing.
City Commission - Sep 9, 2026
Parking fines rise from $25 to $30, and e-bike/scooter fines rise to $35 for a first offense (with a class option) and $75 for repeat offenses.
City Commission - Aug 13, 2026
E-bikes, scooters, and especially electric dirt-bike-style motorcycles have flooded Winter Park streets and sidewalks, and kids are blowing through stop signs. The city is rewriting its rules to target electric motorcycles, drop unenforceable speed limits, and require a safety course for young riders — with parents paying the fines.
Transportation Advisory Board - Jul 20, 2026
A draft ordinance would ban electric motorcycles from sidewalks and trails, cap e-bikes and scooters at 10 mph in shared areas, keep rental scooter fleets out, and add enforcement tools like fines and impoundment. Board feedback is due by August 3 before it goes to the Commission.
City Commission - Jul 8, 2026
The city is crafting an e-bike ordinance it hopes to have by the start of the school year, aligned with Orange County's upcoming rules so kids aren't confused crossing jurisdictions. The county may go it alone because Orlando hasn't shared a draft. It aims to separate legal e-bikes from illegal devices and protect pedestrians without banning responsible use.
City Commission - Jun 10, 2026
The city is racing to regulate e-bikes and electric dirt bikes before school starts in August. Orange County and the Sheriff may do a countywide ordinance, so the city may wait briefly to coordinate — but officials want something on the books before school resumes.

After a 13-year-old's tragic death, Commissioner Russell is pushing an ordinance on e-bikes, scooters, and electric dirt bikes, with parent accountability provisions and a potential citywide ban on electric dirt bikes.
