Wow! We got the inaugural Vision Zero Council bill passed with cameras!! #hb5917 ( you all get a break now from tweets about it) superb work by @geucalitto, Representative Lemar, and @SenatorCohenCT and the advocates

Even though I don’t agree with him, I appreciated Senator Kissel’s comments. #hb5917

It’s up!!!! #hb5917

Two days left @senatorduff You have a traffic violence crisis in your district. We need every tool available to reduce roadway deaths. Please support #HB5917 #VisionZero ⤵️These are YOUR district's pedestrian crashes and deaths.

Part 3 of #HB5917 on automated enforcement portion #VisionZeroCouncil

Part 2 of #HB5917 update (p.s. Section 5 - I helped write!) #VisionZeroCouncil

Senator @tonyhwang You have a traffic violence crisis in your district. We need every tool available to reduce roadway deaths. Please support #HB5917 #VisionZero ⤵️These are YOUR district's pedestrian crashes and deaths.

Senator @SaudAnwarCT You have a traffic violence crisis in your district. We need every tool available to reduce roadway deaths. Please support #HB5917 #VisionZero ⤵️These are YOUR district's pedestrian crashes and deaths.

Senator @ryanfazio - You have a traffic violence crisis in your district. Donna Berry should still be here. We need every tool available to reduce roadway deaths. Please support #HB5917 #VisionZero (These are YOUR district's pedestrian crashes)

Took a little time off last week to recharge. We have three days left to pump up our legislative champions & get some meaningful pieces of legislation through. Heavy weight on @SenatorCohenCT and Rep Lemar’s shoulders but I know they’ve got this 💪🏻 #hb5917 #sb904 #hb6670

There should also be some clear evidence of money coming back to the district to address locations where frequent traffic violence is happening. #hb5917

🤔if your state rep/senator says no to #hb5917 bc of cameras then I’d want to see your municipality as previous 2022 applicant and in progress 2023 applicant for the Safe Streets for All grant to get some $$ for redesign. Doing nothing isn’t an option.

Two + years of effort. Dozens of CT residents and state agencies leaders. Thoughtful policy recommendations. Let’s get ALL of #Hb5917 across the finish line! #visionzero https://twitter.com/KRDemCT/status/1661183542502596608

Legislation we are watching this week- LFG! First up obviously the Vision Zero bill. It is not the camera bill, it is the Vision Zero bill. It is the result of over a year of working meetings and drafting by residents and agency folks. Passed the house. #hb5917

If you haven’t reminded your state senator how important #hb5917 is to address our horrific traffic violence here in CT - you should do that right now (seriously, email them!) https://twitter.com/KRDemCT/status/1660813474447114241

Yes it is a design issue. It is also equally a behavioral issue. We need all the available tools to reduce roadway deaths. #hb5917 https://twitter.com/KRDemCT/status/1660764163713515521

A good friend was T-boned this week (drivers side) by a driver running a red light in Hartford, alive but injured and had to be hospitalized

We need #HB5917

Still need to get through the Senate but after tonight’s amazing work by Rep Lemar I know @SenatorCohenCT will bring it over the finish line! #hb5917

WOW! It passed #HB5917 #VisionZero

The amazing thing about #HB5917- the #VisionZeroCouncil has reconvened - I had an education subcommittee meeting yesterday. We will keep going, find more good policy to make all of us safer. Let's get started now #HB5917

"Let's give this a chance because nobody has given us an alternative" YES!!!! #HB5917

Rep Butler - you have a fan for life! #HB5917

Now we are into license plate fan fic - a mysterious person is stealing plates to run red lights and speed. Nope #HB5917

I'm part of the special citizen group called, "we don't want to die crossing the street" and it includes everyone. #HB5917

Seriously - Represenative Lemar is knocking it out of the park. #HB5917 Lots of interesting questions and Rep Lemar hasn't missed one. https://twitter.com/KRDemCT/status/1661152258074214402

I was nearly hit crossing the street by drivers blatantly ignoring red lights and proceeding with impunity tonight in the shadow of the state Capitol building, we need #HB5917

Go Rep Lemar Go! You got this! #HB5917

It's just a video and only at renewal during a 16 year time period. That is the absolute least drivers could do. #hb5917

House transportation chair Rep Lemar and Ranking Member Rep Kennedy going through aspects of the amended bill #hb5917
