Access

The BCM works to make sure that all Mainers have access to safe, reliable modes of transportation, ensuring access to people of different abilities and economic levels.

Access legislation covers various topics from e-bikes and micro-mobility to snowplow regulations. It works to make sure that everyone has access to active transportation and that those forms of mobility and travel ways are protected.
