The number of people being killed or injured by motor vehicles while walking, bicycling, or rolling has spiked upward to rates not seen in decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington Bikes is fighting to stem this <a href=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/index.php\/2022\/11\/21\/wrong-on-red-policy-changes-to-reduce-traffic-violence\/\">crisis of traffic violence<\/a> by compelling legislators in Olympia to approve common sense laws and reforms during the 2023 session that would:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>increase access to driver education;<\/li><li>remove dangerous drivers from the road;<\/li><li>reduce drunk or impaired driving;<\/li><li>impose stiffer penalties on drivers who kill or injure others.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur streets should be getting safer but in fact they are becoming deadlier. Many of the norms of safe driving have broken down since the pandemic. We are seeing more speeding, more reckless and impaired driving, more road rage, and more hit-and-run crashes,\u201d says Vicky Clarke, Washington Bikes policy director.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need more protected bike infrastructure, more sidewalks, more traffic calming and more complete streets that are engineered to prevent drivers from making deadly mistakes,\u201d Clarke says. \u201cThose improvements will take time. We must also act now to change driver behaviors in ways that make them safer and more aware.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all safety bills made it past initial cutoff deadlines, including our <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov\/biennium\/2023-24\/Pdf\/Bills\/Senate%20Bills\/5514.pdf?q=20230221161052\">#WrongOnRed bill<\/a> aimed at improving the safety of intersections and crosswalks for people biking and walking, and a bill that would have educated consumers on the dangers of bigger, heavier vehicles. Read on for an update on the <a href=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/index.php\/2022\/12\/12\/announcing-wa-bikes-2023-legislative-agenda\/\">WA Bikes 2023 legislative agenda<\/a> at the midpoint of the legislative session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WA Bikes Priority Bill: Get Bad Drivers off the Road<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Senate Bill 5216 and <a href=\"https:\/\/lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov\/biennium\/2023-24\/Pdf\/Bills\/House%20Bills\/1319.pdf?q=20230221155451\">House Bill 1319<\/a> would require a driver\u2019s license to be reviewed when the driver crashes into someone walking or biking and causes \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/govt.westlaw.com\/wcrji\/Document\/Ief989671e10d11daade1ae871d9b2cbe?transitionType=Default&amp;contextData=%28sc.Default%29#:~:text=Substantial%20bodily%20harm%20means%20bodily,fracture%20of%20any%20bodily%20part.\">substantial bodily harm<\/a>,\u201d a legal term that includes broken bones or worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnder current law you can crash into someone walking or riding their bike, break their arm or leg, and as long as you don\u2019t kill or permanently disfigure them, you get to keep your license without any review by the state. That\u2019s bananas,\u201d Clarke says. \u201cDriving is a privilege, not a right, and with that privilege comes the responsibility to avoid crashing into innocent victims. Frankly, it\u2019s a pretty low bar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Also Support: Penalties for Reckless Drivers who Injure or Kill<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=1112&amp;Year=2023&amp;Initiative=false\">HB 1112<\/a> would increase penalties for deadly driving. Under current law, a driver who kills a vulnerable road user can escape stiff penalties if they admit guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This bill would create a new offense of Negligent Driving with a Vulnerable User Victim. A violation of this law would be a gross misdemeanor punishable by up to 364 days of imprisonment, a fine of no less than $1,000, and the suspension of driving privileges for 90 days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople who cause a death while driving in a negligent and dangerous manner should be held accountable,\u201d Clarke says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We Support: Safer Young Drivers, Decriminalizing Walking<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Data shows that driver education works. In Washington state, however, people who wait until age 18 to get a license are not required to take a driver education course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=5430&amp;Initiative=false&amp;Year=2023\">SB5430<\/a> would create a voucher program to cover the average cost of driver&#8217;s education courses for persons in low-income households who have not previously obtained a motor vehicle license. This bill would improve both safety and equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking across the street shouldn\u2019t be a crime. That\u2019s why we support <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=1428&amp;Initiative=false&amp;Year=2023\">HB1428<\/a> to allow people to walk across the street when it\u2019s safe to do so. It\u2019s time to repeal the crime of \u201cjaywalking,\u201d which has historically been used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\/research-and-analysis\/blogs\/stateline\/2022\/07\/14\/racial-justice-pedestrian-safety-fuel-jaywalking-debate\">disproportionately target people of color.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>We Support: Lowering the Blood-Alcohol Limit<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Drunken or impaired drivers are responsible for more than half of all traffic fatalities. Washington Bikes supports a bill to reduce the legal blood-alcohol limit to .05.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=5002&amp;Year=2023&amp;Initiative=false\">SB 5002<\/a> is to change behavior and make people think twice before getting behind the wheel when drinking. If approved, the state would develop a public information campaign to make the public aware of the law change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith the popularity of rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft, it has never been easier to get a sober ride home,\u201d Clarke says. \u201cTake a taxi, designate a sober driver if you\u2019re out with friends or family, use public transit or walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Critics say this proposed law won\u2019t work. Data shows otherwise. Traffic fatalities decreased in Utah after that state lowered its legal limit to .05, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhtsa.gov\/press-releases\/utah-lower-impaired-driving-law-study\">study<\/a>. Other groups including the National Academy of Sciences, the National Safety Council, the National Transportation Safety Board, the<a href=\"https:\/\/wtsc.wa.gov\/2022-saw-most-traffic-deaths-on-washington-roads-since-1990\/\">Washington Traffic Safety Commission<\/a>, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving agree that .<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntsb.gov\/news\/press-releases\/Pages\/NR20220211.aspx\">05 saves lives<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>#WrongonRed, Higher Fees for Deadlier Vehicles<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"301\" src=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/safe-crossings-for-all-graphic-ALL-CAPS.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38622\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington Bikes worked with legislators to draft bills that would restrict right turns on red near schools and at certain intersections where lots of people use the crosswalks. Crosswalks should be safe places. Instead, they are one of the most dangerous locations for people biking and walking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drivers of vehicles making right turns at red lights frequently do not stop or look both ways as required by law. Instead, they roll through without checking if vulnerable road users are present\u2013with dangerous consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our #WrongonRed bills failed to get voted out of House and Senate committees despite overwhelmingly supportive public comments. \u201cWe hope to revive these bills in coming sessions once hesitant legislators have had more time to learn about this issue,\u201d Clarke says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another bill that appears dead for the session is one that proposed increasing fees for the heaviest and deadliest vehicles that pose the greatest risk to people biking and walking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAutomobile safety regulation is a federal issue, and we urge Congress to take a look at this issue. There are technologies being deployed in other countries such as pedestrian airbags and devices that can save the lives of people who are hit by motor vehicles,\u201d Clarke says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Climate Emergency and Bicycling<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Biking for transportation has incredible potential to both reduce climate pollution and improve the resiliency, health, and sustainability of our communities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why Washington Bikes supports <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/billsummary?BillNumber=5452&amp;Initiative=false&amp;Year=2023\">SB5452<\/a>, which would allow communities to use impact fees charged to developers to pay for bicycle infrastructure improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Washington Bikes also supports efforts to strengthen the groundbreaking <a href=\"https:\/\/ecology.wa.gov\/Air-Climate\/Climate-Commitment-Act\">Climate Commitment Act<\/a> approved in 2021 that creates a program for reducing climate pollution from some of the state\u2019s largest polluters. Revenues would be spent on a host of initiatives including efforts to reduce carbon emissions from transportation, and to fund a statewide school-based bike education curriculum for our state\u2019s youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep up to date on our priority legislation in our <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/194Mu1GIj1YRlXALFLXvFOX8mq22c7o_IazU6qpLV3l8\/edit\">Washington Bikes Bill Tracker<\/a>, and sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/wabikes.org\/index.php\/e-news-signup\/\">Action Alerts and our e-newsletter<\/a> to stay informed about upcoming votes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington Bikes is moving bills that would reduce impaired driving, impose restrictions on drivers who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":38630,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[29],"tags":[550,545,552,535,543,554,83,527,551,542,553],"class_list":["post-38611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wa-bikes-news","tag-550","tag-bikes-and-climate","tag-blood-alcohol-limit","tag-deadly-vehicles","tag-decriminalize-jaywalking","tag-reckless-drivers","tag-traffic-safety","tag-traffic-violence","tag-washington-bikes","tag-wrong-on-red","tag-young-drivers"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
