Active Transportation Slate Hangs in Suspense in CA Senate

As we near the end of the legislative calendar, it’s crunch time for bills that aim to make biking and walking safer for all Californians. CalBike supports a slate of six bills currently in the Suspense File in the Senate Appropriations Committee. We only have until September 1, 2023, to move them forward, or these measures will fail.

What’s in the Active Transportation Slate?

This Active Transportation Slate includes six excellent bills that deserve to become law.

What is the Suspense File?

All bills that impact the state budget go to the Suspense File in Appropriations. Unfortunately, bills may also be quietly killed without much debate while in suspense. For more on this process, check out our Insider post on the appropriations process.

Thank you for supporting the Active Transportation Slate! If you haven’t sent an email to your senator yet, please take a moment to fill out the form. The more voices raised in support of better biking and walking, the safer we can make our streets.
