TAKE ACTION

The Coalition takes action for safer streets–but we can’t do it alone. There are several ways to get involved with ongoing campaigns to improve infrastructure and safety all-around. Check them out below.

Move the Circuit Forward

Connecting our region with a 800+ mile network of bicycle and pedestrian trails would bring enormous benefits for our health, economy, property values and sense of community and livability. The Coalition has a goal to connect 500 miles by 2025.

If you live in one of the nine counties of Greater Philadelphia and want to see more miles of Circuit Trails added to that network, please take action! Ask your county elected officials to commit $10 million a year of federal funds for specific Circuit trail projects.

Support Safe Streets

The Pennsylvania Legislature is considering two pieces of legislation that would make roads in Philadelphia and elsewhere safe from reckless drivers.

The Automated Speed Enforcement pilot on Roosevelt Blvd is set to expire in December of 2023. Currently, Senator Argall (R, 29) and Schwank (D,11) have uploaded a memo and are set to introduce legislation necessary to remove the sunset and expand it to all of Philadelphia county any day now! Tell your Senator to support expanding this life saving technology to all of Philadelphia county.

State Senator Anthony Williams (D,8) has been trying to pass legislation after Jayanna Powell was killed in November of 2016 that would create a “Jay-Alert”, similar to Amber Alert.  It would require that after a hit and run, police authorities would send information about the driver and car involved to autobody shops to help identify drivers who left the scene of a crash.  We hope to see Senator Williams introduce this legislation soon; please ask your State Senator to co-sponsor Senator Williams’ memo.
