Update 3/2/12 - Action Alert 2/9/2012
Cardin-Cochran Amendment Accepted as Part of Senate Transportation Bill
Bicycle Colorado thanks everyone who contacted Senators Bennet and Udall to encourage them to vote for the Cardin-Cochran amendment which puts dedicated funding for bicycling programs back into the federal transportation bill MAP-21. This amendment will ensure that local governments, school systems, and metropolitan planning organizations are able to access much-needed funds for making bicycling and walking safe and accessible.
Bicycle Colorado continues to monitor the federal transportation bill and will provide updates as the bill progresses.
End the Hit and Run Loophole Act
Bicycle Colorado Working to End the "Hit and Run Loophole"
| |
Bicycle Colorado announces support for the "End the Hit and Run Loophole" Act (HB12-1084) introduced in the Colorado House by Representatives Kathleen Conti (R) and Rhonda Fields (D). The act will increase the penalty for a hit-and-run crash causing serious bodily injury from a Class 5 felony to a more serious Class 4, removing a dangerous loophole in Colorado law by giving a hit and run offense the same penalty as drunk driving.
Hit-and-run crashes disproportionately affect people who walk and ride bicycles. Bicycle and pedestrian fatalities are four times more likely to be the result of a hit and run than other roadway crashes. The difference between life and death may be the immediate help that is offered at the time of the crash.
Feb. 16 - the House Judiciary Committee passed the bill unanimously, 11-0. The bill now moves to the House Appropriations Committee. For more information, visit our legislative page.
