WheelWISE Safety Data

The evidence behind the urgency

A strategic decision-support resource β€” real-time dashboards tracking e-bike and e-scooter injury trends, fatality data, and the laws of all 50 states. Educators teach with it, departments brief leadership with it, and policymakers cite it. The same evidence that powers WISEboard in the classroom informs advocacy, grant applications, and community risk reduction.

Why this data matters in the classroom

WheelWISE uses these dashboards live in sessions with students β€” not as statistics, but as mirrors. When a 7th grader sees that most youth crashes trace back to a decision that could have been made differently, the WISE Framework becomes personal, not theoretical.
