Whose Streets? Our Streets!

The council is voting on final amendments to the Seattle Transportation Levy on Tuesday, July 2. 📢 Let them know that you want the city to invest in improved street safety & equitable planning for BIPOC communities, NOT fare enforcement: actionnetwork.org/letters/equity… 📢

Listening to @maria_abando with @ourstreets_sea, Clara with @SNGreenways, @amysundberg and BJ Last with Solidarity Budget talk about community engagement/building, equitable traffic safety, and the city budget. Moderated by @ethan2sea. Video will be available online. #MLKDay2024

#Jaywalking enforcement doesn't keep people safe, disproportionately impacts Black and unhoused people, and is an inefficient use of public resources. Tell members of the Senate Transportation Committee to move on jaywalking reform: actionnetwork.org/letters/reform… #FreeToWalkWA

@apardoe @seabikeblog Hi! First off, we’re not asking the city to stop camera enforcement. Second, our detailed recommendations are aligned with exactly what you suggest (an equal # per district). Let us know what you think. Our report is linked in the Seattle Bike Blog piece: seattlebikeblog.com/wp-content/upl…

Workgroup recommends slowing speed camera expansion until equity issues are resolved seattlebikeblog.com/2023/06/09/wor… #Seattle #SEAbikes

Join us in asking Seattle's elected leaders and @seattledot to fix automated traffic enforcement policies and practices before expanding the program. 📢 We invite you to fill out our action alert below! secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/…

Last year, a budget amendment from Councilmember Alex Pedersen mandated a doubling of automated speed enforcement from 35 to 70 cameras. But fines are unnecessarily steep at $237, and existing cameras are disproportionately placed in communities of color. Seattle can do better.

We are asking @seattledot to put the brakes on doubling its automated speed camera program until critical equity issues are resolved. In a new report, we offer 15 recommendations for how Seattle can balance safety and equity in automated ticketing. our-streets.org/the-real-deal/…
