Good morning Subscriber First Name!

Welcome to August!

Summer is in full swing, and here at SAFE, we’re moving full speed ahead—thanks to people like you.

This month, we’re reflecting on the progress of SB 720, California’s Safer Streets Act, and the support you provided that helped move it forward.

We’re also sharing updates from our Streets, Art, SAFE competition, where creativity powerfully meets advocacy. A lot is coming for this incredible high school eduction program!

And, as we approach our 10th Anniversary, we’re taking time to look back — and give thanks for the community that has carried this movement forward. And we’d like you to join us!

Whether you’ve been here for years or just found us, thank you for being a part of the last 10 years.

We’ve come a long way. Let’s keep going, together.

All the best,

Dayna Galbreath
Director of Public Affairs

Senate Bill 720 - The Safe Streets Act - On Its Way to Being Signed

Thanks to the support of many advocates, Senate Bill 720 (SB 720) cleared two major hurdles on July 14 and July 16, passing the Assembly Transportation Committee with a unanimous 15–0 vote and the Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection with strong bipartisan support and a 13–2 vote!

SB 720 is designed to bring California’s outdated, failed red light camera law into the modern era, with the goal of saving lives, protecting privacy, increasing transparency, ensuring an equity component, and, most importantly, using the systems only to make intersections safer.
