It’s time to legalize safe street crossings

Tell Governor Newsom to sign the Freedom to Walk Act. CalBike is sponsoring the Freedom to Walk Act (AB 1238, Ting) to repeal California’s unjust jaywalking laws. The bill will make safe mid-block crossings legal, as well as crossing against traffic lights. Jaywalking tickets place an unfair burden on low-income residents, whose neighborhoods often lack adequate infrastructure, and are disproportionately used to harass Black Californians.

Support the Bicycle Safety Stop

The Idaho stop was the first, but many other states have since legalized the bicycle safety stop, which allows bikes to treat stop signs as yields. The Bicycle Safety Stop Bill (AB 122, Boerner Horvath) has passed the legislature. Tell Governor Newsom to sign it into law, so bike riders can legally treat stop signs as yields.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

California will never have the equitable, prosperous and inclusive communities that CalBike advocates for until we address and redress anti-Black violence. We want to actively contribute to ending systemic racism, especially in transportation policy, and most especially in bicycling advocacy. We promise to listen and learn how we can best do this work. To our community members who experience the violence of racism on a daily basis: we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
