1/11 Governor Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom, #SB127 authored by Senator Senator Scott Wiener & co-authored by @laurafriedman43 Tasha Boerner Richard Bloom @AsmEGarciaAD56 David Chiu @asmrichardbloom w/ strong support from @LorenaAD80 is a climate, health, and transportation priority bill for CA

2/11 Over 80 organizations representing these priorities are in strong support - knowing all to well the need for #safestreets and prioritizing children's safety over fast traffic, as well as doing everything possible to meet state #climate goals. calbike.org/our_initiative…

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/saf…

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.

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.

11/11 Governor Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom, take a stance - join us, our co-sponsors CaliforniaWalks, American Heart Association AARP California & Safe Routes Partnership California & all the supporters in protecting our communities by prioritizing #safestreets for our most vulnerable. We need accountability - Sign #SB127 🖊️✔️
