Today we stood with the family of Dariel Rivera on the 2 year anniversary of the crash in Nyack that took him far too soon. Thank you to Senator Bill Weber and Assemblyman Patrick Carroll for your leadership in standing with us today in support of common sense traffic safety legislation.


When it comes to changes needed to make our roads safer, who cares more deeply than crash survivors or victim families? DOT asked for public input on the 2026 Surface Transportation Reauthorization Bill. Let Secretary Sean Duffy know that you want a National Roadway Safety Advocate U.S. Department of Transportation.

A new bill would put a dedicated "roadway safety advocate" in the halls of US DOT — and you can support it right now. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/07/29/wha… Streetsblog USA Families for Safe Streets National National Safety Council Road to Zero Consumer Reports NC Vision Zero League of American Bicyclists America Walks

We’ve landed in Boston! Amy Cohen & Patty Avery are representing Families for Safe Streets National at #NCSL2025 to demand action on dangerous speeding. Come find us in the Exhibit Hall tomorrow—let’s talk about stopping super speeders. 🚗💨 #StopSuperSpeeders


Just ran into Senator Patricia Fahy from NY's 46th District📍#Albany, #Schenectady, and #Montgomery Counties! Thank you for co-sponsoring the NY #StopSuperSpeeders bill this year! We will continue the work ahead next lege session!


Just tuned into “The Road to Surface Transportation Funding” panel! 🎙️Next up: Patty Avery w/a question on everyone’s mind: “If we truly value transportation safety, in regards to reauthorizing funding, how is USDOT incentivizing & supporting safety measures for all road users?








Grateful to have #StopSuperSpeeders champions like mari leavitt from Washington State—where lawmakers took bold action earlier this year to curb deadly speeding. 🛑 We hope other legislators will listen, learn, and lead too—because every life saved is a policy that worked.
