S. 841, the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act, was just passed by the House of Representatives, and will now go to the president to be signed into law.


 

I want to thank you all for your hard work over the past three years to protect the right to independent and safe travel for the blind of our country.  My final ask on this legislation is that we take a moment to contact the offices of our sponsors-Representative Towns (202-225-5936) and Representative Stearns (202-225-5744), and Senator Kerry (202-224-2742)-and thank them for their efforts to get this legislation done.  

 

Below is a list of all cosponsors by state, so affiliates can make appropriate calls to members of their delegation that supported this legislation.  You may be connected to any member of Congress by calling the Capitol switchboard toll free at (866) 727-4894.  I will alert you all when I learn of the president's expected signing of this legislation.  

 

Thank you all again for your outstanding effort to change what it means to be blind.
