Current Advocacy Issues

  • Red Light Camera Bill - SB 720

    • Background: SABA is advocating for the passage of California SB 720, a bill that would establish an opt-in red light camera program for local jurisdictions to use called the Safer Streets Program, which is designed to save lives, improve privacy and security, and eliminate costly fines. 
    • Status: The bill passed the Assembly Transportation Committee with a unanimous 15–0 vote. On July 16, the Privacy and Consumer Protection Committee voted to send the bill to the Appropriations Committee which will hear it in mid-August. If it passes Appropriations, then it will go to the governor to be signed.
    • What you can do: Provide written testimony or contact members of the Appropriations Committee.
    • More information from Streets are For Everyone
  • Bike Highways Bill, AB 954
