Title
THIRD SUBSTITUTE - Creating Section 12.792 entitled "Neighborhood Electric Vehicles Allowed" to permit and regulate the operation of such vehicles on Madison streets and amending Section 1.08(3)(a) of the Madison General Ordinances to establish a bail deposit amount for violations of the section.
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This Third Substitute has been prepared in response to 2007 Wisconsin Act 33, which took effect on December 4, 2007. The City no longer needs to establish a registration and licensing procedure for Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs), as provided in prior versions of this proposal, because registration and licensing are now the responsibility of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). State law also establishes the requirement that the operator must have a valid driver’s license. The shared jurisdiction issues that had to be addressed previously have been deleted by the new state law.

The City is required to provide written notice to WisDOT of the ordinance including identification of any connecting highway or state trunk highway intersection to which the ordinance will apply. This draft provides that the Traffic Engineer will provide such notice and if WisDOT objects, the Traffic Engineer will place signs at those locations advising that NEVs may not be operated in those locations. WisDOT may object within 21 days of receiving such notice to the use of NEVs on those connecting highways or state trunk highway intersections. If WisDOT consents to such use or does not object within 21 days, the...
