Virginia League of Conservation Voters encourages you to SUPPORT HB645, HB657, HB1266 Reasons to SUPPORT HB645 - (Reaser) Electric vehicles; signs for parking spaces reserved for charging vehicles. Currently, signs reserving space for electric vehicle charging are required to read "Penalty, up to $25”--prescribed by the Code of Virginia (§ 46.2-1219.3). This is unnecessarily specific and could result in costly updates to signage for public EV charging space operators or localities. The simple and clear language proposed by HB645 would prevent confusion and future-proofs against costly sign replacement. SUPPORT HB657 (Sullivan) Pedestrian control signals; applicability to persons riding bicycles and other devices. Extends safety benefits of Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) to people biking in bike lanes and travel lanes. Improves safety for people biking by allowing them to get ahead of and be more visible to drivers. Current law allows a person biking in the crosswalk to proceed on a walk signal; this legislation extends applicability to a person biking using a bike lane or travel lane. SUPPORT HB1266 (Willet) Bicycles and certain other vehicles; various changes to provisions relating to operation. This legislation would improve the safety of people bicycling by allowing them to treat stop signs as yield signs in limited circumstances (Safety Stop), permitting two-abreast bicycling without restriction except on two-lane roads with a speed limit greater than 30 MPH, and clarifying the rules for narrow travel lanes.

The intent of the original bill is to protect access to charging infrastructure that is growing substantially in Virginia as the result of millions of dollars in public and private investment. Protecting access to this infrastructure will be essential as the demand for electric vehicles grows, especially from those who cannot install a charger at home because they rent an apartment or live in a house with no driveway or garage. Access is also important for those who own less expensive EVs with smaller batteries and need to travel long distances. However, the bill as written does not protect a single charging station in Virginia from someone who parks their car with no intention of charging. That’s because a sign has to be posted in the parking space in front of the charger with the amount of the fine for violating this parking regulation. Counties in Maryland have faced the same enforcement issue (see attachment). HB 645 would rectify this issue by removing the sign requirement. The space would still need to be marked for charging only, which almost every charging station already has. That is why Drive Electric RVA supports HB 645.
