Safe Streets Can't Wait - Email the Mayor and City Council
Mayor Wu must keep her promise to end traffic deaths in Boston - please speak up today!

#VisionZeroBoston is a marathon, not a sprint, and we need action today on multiple fronts. While citiies like Somerville have had multiple years without a traffic fatality, Boston has been going backwards

It’s been two months since we lost Louisa Gag to traffic violence. Is Tremont St any safer today? The answer is evidently not.
Residents have taken it upon themselves to improve Tremont St. Now, City Council is noticing.

Boston’s considering noise cameras: Look inside the tech already monitoring loud cars in Newport, RI
The cameras capture the license plates of vehicles that exceed a certain decibel level, and the driver then receives a fine in the mail.
