Safer Bicycling Through Stronger Car Safety Standards
August 3, 2023 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The League is committed to making our roads safe for people who bike. To do that we not only advocate for safer road designs and bike infrastructure, but also for safer vehicles. This webinar will talk through two areas where we think the U.S. Department of Transportation, and in particular the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), must do better on vehicle safety standards. The first is testing cyclist automatic emergency braking systems in its 5-Star safety rating program, and the second is in improving the safety of large trucks. We’ll talk through the issues, what the League is working on, and how you can help.
