Automatic emergency braking helps prevent collisions or makes them more survivable by slowing down a vehicle significantly before the point of impact, even at speeds of 60 miles per hour. This new rule from our department will save lives.

The Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (“STEER”) Amendment Act of 2024 officially become law on April 20, following the 30-day congressional review period! Now, we need the DC Council to actually provide funding for it in FY 2025!

Families for Safe Streets @SafeStreetsDC member @jlrhart was on @NBCNews stories across the country last weekend discussing the horrendous spike in U.S. pedestrian deaths. Thank you @JackieDeFuscoTV for your coverage. youtube.com/watch?v=E7rHm1…
Congratulations to our NYC-Chapter for this hard fought win. It took 4 years, but we know there are few forces more powerful than the sheer determination of someone fighting for the memory of those they love. Slower speeds save lives.

IMPORTANT: If you have kids in a DC public or charter school, please complete this @DDOTDC survey about safe routes to school. Complete once per child!! #bikedc survey.alchemer.com/s3/7718647/DC-…
I know y'all know but click to sign #bikedc @MayorBowser's decision to remove protected bike lanes from the Connecticut Ave safety projects goes against the District's own safety and climate goals. Join me in signing this petition: p2a.co/NF1OtgL
Please sign this petition! When people say cities are loud, it's because of cars. When people say roads are unsafe, it's because of cars. Cars are not the solution; they are the problem. We need to develop ROBUST support for all other forms of transit.

Three years since we lost @jimpagels. Somehow feels like yesterday and eons ago. Not a single improvement to slow traffic or protect cyclists has been made to the intersection of Mass & 2nd NW. Thinking today of all the families who have lost loved ones to traffic violence.

I cried on tv. I shared stories and videos of Allie. And I will continue to speak out about what it means to lose a loved one in this horrible, preventable way. 🧵 cbsnews.com/news/traffic-d…
This dashboard is now quite dated (through November 2022) but one can see why MPD reduced arrests for Counterfeit Tags offenses; the OAG was declining to prosecute over 90% of the cases! @DCAttorneyGen can we get updated data please? oag.dc.gov/prosecution-da…
42K people (loved ones, friends, neighbors etc) died in preventable traffic crashes in 2022. We can and must do much better and sadly we already know the answers. Less overall driving, slower speeds, less intoxication, less distraction, and way more 🚇🚌🚴♂️🚶🧑🦽design & investment.

FSS member @jlrhart from @SafeStreetsDC was featured in this heartbreaking @CBSNews report on the distressing rise of deadly crashes across the U.S. We need to be *implementing* more street safety infrastructure, not just planning for it! cbsnews.com/news/traffic-d…
Another way the US doubles down on pain and trauma for victims of crashes and their families.

118 people will die on our roads today. Where is the outrage? I’ve seen a lot of sensationalism around aviation lately. The fact is our aviation system is the safest in the world and all of us - investigators, regulators, airlines, employees, and manufacturers - are working to…
My friend @DuBarryPie and her son Seamus feature on this week’s episode. 💙 I have many thoughts about this, all wrapped up in this: families of traffic violence suffer many, many injustices and cruelties. Give it a listen. open.spotify.com/episode/1V9dhZ…
TSC and its volunteers met w/@NHTSAgov officials yesterday to impress upon them the ability the agency has to SAVE LIVES with their rulemaking authority. We need the final Automatic Emergency Braking Rule for Large Trucks ASAP!!!
WHY THIS MATTERS: DDOT uses MPD data for crash locations but as residents, WE KNOW BETTER! If @DDOTDC won't install a 4-way stop outside of your kid's daycare or school (👋 12th & Hamlin NE) or if you're stepping over crash debris (👋 13th & Newton NE), report it all here!

This new rule from our department will save lives.
NHTSA is announcing a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard that will make automatic emergency braking, including pedestrian AEB, standard on all passenger cars and light trucks. This is expected to significantly reduce rear-end and pedestrian crashes. NHTSA.gov/press-releases…
The Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility (“STEER”) Amendment Act of 2024 officially become law on April 20, following the 30-day congressional review period! Now, we need the DC Council to actually provide funding for it in FY 2025!
Council just gave final & unanimous approval to our STEER Act to hold dangerous drivers accountable. Last year, DC issued 50,000+ tickets for speeding 20-30 mph OVER the limit. Our law creates commonsense measures to reduce speeding & reckless driving on our neighborhood streets.
Families for Safe Streets @SafeStreetsDC member @jlrhart was on @NBCNews stories across the country last weekend discussing the horrendous spike in U.S. pedestrian deaths. Thank you @JackieDeFuscoTV for your coverage. youtube.com/watch?v=E7rHm1…

Please sign this petition! When people say cities are loud, it's because of cars. When people say roads are unsafe, it's because of cars. Cars are not the solution; they are the problem. We need to develop ROBUST support for all other forms of transit.

Three years since we lost @jimpagels. Somehow feels like yesterday and eons ago. Not a single improvement to slow traffic or protect cyclists has been made to the intersection of Mass & 2nd NW. Thinking today of all the families who have lost loved ones to traffic violence.
I’m absolutely gutted that one of my best friends, @jimpagels, was killed on Friday by a driver while he was biking. For Jim, who was a passionate urbanist and safe streets advocate, to become DC’s latest victim of traffic violence is infuriating as it is devastating.
I cried on tv. I shared stories and videos of Allie. And I will continue to speak out about what it means to lose a loved one in this horrible, preventable way. 🧵 cbsnews.com/news/traffic-d…
This dashboard is now quite dated (through November 2022) but one can see why MPD reduced arrests for Counterfeit Tags offenses; the OAG was declining to prosecute over 90% of the cases! @DCAttorneyGen can we get updated data please? oag.dc.gov/prosecution-da…
42K people (loved ones, friends, neighbors etc) died in preventable traffic crashes in 2022. We can and must do much better and sadly we already know the answers. Less overall driving, slower speeds, less intoxication, less distraction, and way more 🚇🚌🚴♂️🚶🧑🦽design & investment.
JUST IN: Newly released data shows there were 716 fewer people killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes on U.S. roadways during 2022. ⬇️📉 While it's an improvement from 2021, we still have a long way to go. Drive Safely. Always. No Matter What.
FSS member @jlrhart from @SafeStreetsDC was featured in this heartbreaking @CBSNews report on the distressing rise of deadly crashes across the U.S. We need to be *implementing* more street safety infrastructure, not just planning for it! cbsnews.com/news/traffic-d…
Another way the US doubles down on pain and trauma for victims of crashes and their families.
Upsetting op-ed from an SSI recipient in PA, who discusses how SSI's asset limits nearly forced her to forfeit a $7K settlement after being hit by a car. "I was the victim of a hit-and-run, yet I somehow felt like I was about to be convicted of a crime." inquirer.com/opinion/commen…
Saturday's gonna be a washout. Books & Blossoms Ride is now on Sunday at 3:45. Wheels up at 4pm sharp!
118 people will die on our roads today. Where is the outrage? I’ve seen a lot of sensationalism around aviation lately. The fact is our aviation system is the safest in the world and all of us - investigators, regulators, airlines, employees, and manufacturers - are working to…
My friend @DuBarryPie and her son Seamus feature on this week’s episode. 💙 I have many thoughts about this, all wrapped up in this: families of traffic violence suffer many, many injustices and cruelties. Give it a listen. open.spotify.com/episode/1V9dhZ…
TSC and its volunteers met w/@NHTSAgov officials yesterday to impress upon them the ability the agency has to SAVE LIVES with their rulemaking authority. We need the final Automatic Emergency Braking Rule for Large Trucks ASAP!!!
WHY THIS MATTERS: DDOT uses MPD data for crash locations but as residents, WE KNOW BETTER! If @DDOTDC won't install a 4-way stop outside of your kid's daycare or school (👋 12th & Hamlin NE) or if you're stepping over crash debris (👋 13th & Newton NE), report it all here!
We have some really exciting news to share! @WABADC has launched a new crash tracker & reporting tool for the DC region! You will be able to report: -Cars Parked in Bike Lanes -Dangerous Streets -Near-Misses -Traffic Crashes Click the link for more info! waba.org/crashtracker
It's bad that some vocal people have bad ideas about street design. But it's much worse when the govt actually lets those people dictate policy, as they did on Grant Circle for years and are doing on Conn Ave and elsewhere now. Let's be better @MayorBowser @DDOTDC
Reminder that a small handful of neighbors, including St Gabriel's, advocated, for opposing traffic calming on the circle because of parking and property values. When ANC 4C introduced a resolution supporting safety changes one ANC Commissioner voted against it, one abstained.
People are getting hurt and worse on streets we know are problems yet we fail to solve and in any timely fashion. This is an unforced error that cost lives.
