ACTION ALERT: Help advance 2 Senate bills!

ACTION ALERT!

Please call your Senator today and ask for 5 minutes of their time. We need you to voice support for 2 bills in the Senate now.

S.248 is the Hands Free bill and will significantly reduce fatalities in South Carolina's roadways.

S.245 is the 3 Feet to Pass bill and will simply define safe passing distance between cars and bikes as 3 feet.

Here is how to help:

Find your SC Senator here.
Urge your state Senator to vote in favor of the Hands Free (S.248) and 3 Feet to Pass (S.245) bills, and explain why in your own words.
Use the following tips for effective communication:

Ask the assistant for 5 minutes of the Senator's time. If that's not possible, simply leave a brief message with the assistant. Explain you hope they support the bill and provide the bill number and name. Then explain very briefly why this is important to you. Be simple, civil, concise, and direct. One call can go a long way!

Kelly Willenberg is sponsoring this year's Safe Streets Legislative Agenda. When we asked her why she values this legislative agenda, this was her answer:

"This is an epidemic for South Carolinians. We must create more education and consequences when distracted driving is the cause of an accident. As a concerned citizen of South Carolina, join me in ensuring that S.248 passes legislation in 2021 so we can create a culture that teaches new young drivers better lifelong habits. By passage, we will together save a cyclist's life. I do this for my husband Dale, as stronger laws may have saved his life. Join me and together we can make change!"
