Keep New Orleans' Bicycle Registration Fees Reasonable
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, request the City Council examine our concerns about Councilman Carter's proposed Bicycle Registration Fee hike to $75 for commercial use and $15 for non-commercial use (amendments to Sections 154-1403 through 154-1406 of the Code of the City of New Orleans). While an effective bicycle registration program can be a valuable resource, the magnitude of this increase (500\% for non-commercial and 2500\% for commercial) will be a hardship for some cyclists and feel like a punishment to others. The following outlines our primary concerns:
- The ordinance does not specify how the collected fees will be used by the city
- An increase of this scope should involve greater public participation to insure an effective registration program
- Low registration fees will encourage citizens to participate in the program, which will in turn discourage theft and promote ridership.
We appreciate your attention to this matter.

It's important that we encourage bicycle use and registration. However, collecting the fees must be balanced by an accounting of their use, such as maintaining bikelanes, bicycle safety classes, and other education/recreation projects.

Registration fees should reflect the cost of supporting a mode of transport. In this case, the bicycle which does not contribute to the severe maintainence of the City's roads and traffic collisions.
