10/11 Signing #SB127 is urgent and cannot be further delayed - this is coming at the expense of injuries and deaths on our streets, healthcare costs due to lack of safe places to be physically active, and poor air quality due to too many cars on the road.

7/11 #SB127 holds Caltrans accountable to its own internal #completestreets policies and goals set over a decade ago, with little progress made to addressing #safety and accessibility needs of all road users.

5/11 Nearly 400 public schools are within 500 ft of a state highway affected by SB 127; this could mean 1000s of children walking and biking safely every day to school instead of the over 50% of kids that are driven daily. This is a *key* for parents: calmatters.org/commentary/sa…
Commentary: California needs to make streets safer for walking and biking. This bill will help.

Commentary: California needs to make streets safer for walking and biking. This bill will help.

California needs to make streets safer for walking, biking, skaitng by adding clear crosswalks and bike lanes. Gov. Newsom can require it by signing SB 127
