WHEN YOU SHOW UP, CHANGE HAPPENS

This year, we’re taking action on two fronts: advancing safer streets locally and building momentum for change across the country.

MASSACHUSETTS

At the State House, we are asking legislators to introduce and support a “Stop Super Speeders” bill that would require GPS-based intelligent speed assistance technology in the vehicles of the most dangerous repeat speeders. Speeding was a factor in 29% of U.S. traffic deaths in 2024. Eight states and Washington, D.C., have passed Stop Super Speeders laws, and 20 have introduced them. 

In addition, we will ask House and Senate negotiators to keep two road-safety provisions sponsored by Sen. Will Brownsberger, D-Belmont, in the final economic development bill. The first would allow speed cameras in school zones, safety zones and construction zones. The second would create a rebuttable presumption that a truck driver is responsible in a fatal crash involving a cyclist or pedestrian if the truck lacks safety features such as side guards and backup cameras.

At City Hall, we are calling on Boston to speed up stalled street-safety projects. After Gag's death, a Northeastern University professor who studies bike infrastructure said a 30-day review of street projects that Wu launched in February 2025 had turned into 500 days of inaction. 

NATIONWIDE

At the national level, we will urge passage of the Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act (HR 2011/S 944), a bipartisan bill in the U.S. Congress which would give states more flexibility in using federal transportation funds in building safe biking and walking infrastructure. A Wisconsin native, Sarah Langenkamp was killed in 2022 riding her bike home from her children’s elementary school outside Washington, D.C. Her death inspired the Ride for Your Life movement.
