Act 38 Speed Camera Expansion, December 2023.

PA SAFE ROADS PAC played a significant role in the legislative effort to expand speed cameras to 5 new Philadelphia roads and to make the speed cameras on Roosevelt Boulevard permanent. The Roosevelt Boulevard speed cameras are estimated to have reduced fatalities by about 50%.

bike

HB1283, Susan and Emily’s Law for parking protected bike lanes.

Parking separated bike lanes save lives but they are technically illegal in Pennsylvania. This bill is named in honor of Emily Fredricks and Susan Hicks, two cyclists who lost their lives in bike lanes without parking protection.

car accident

SB 730, Jay-Alert.

Authorizes the creation of an alert system operated by the PA State Police & PennDOT to notify auto body shops about fatal hit and run crashes. SB730 has been championed by the mother and aunt of 8-year old Jayanna Powell who was killed in 2016 in West Philadelphia by a driver who left the scene, but was caught weeks later when an autobody shop in Malvern, PA notified police.

About PA Safe Roads PAC

PA Safe Roads PAC is a political action committee dedicated to saving lives on Pennsylvania’s roads and highways.  We formed in 2022 to support candidates for the state legislature who are committed to policies in transportation and law enforcement that are proven to reduce fatalities and injuries from vehicular crashes.

Each year, more than 1,000 people lose their lives on Pennsylvania’s roads.  Another 60,000 people are injured each year.  Most crashes are preventable, caused by speeding, driving under the influence, or distracted driving.

PA Safe Roads PAC is a nonpartisan political action committee (PAC) organized within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.  Nicole Brunet serves as President and Jason Duckworth serves as Treasurer.

Contributions to PA Safe Roads PAC are not deductible as a charitable contribution for income tax purposes. Contributors must be a U.S. Citizen or an authorized permanent resident alien (“Green Card” holder). PA Safe Roads PAC is required by law to use its best efforts to collect the name and mailing address of individuals contributing more than $50 a reporting period, and occupation and employer of individuals contributing more than $250 a reporting period to the PAC.
