ABOUT THIS BILL
Public Safety that Works for Everyone:The ACLU-WA seeks to address racially discriminatory police practices and improve safety for everyone. The Traffic Safety for All bill prioritizes police resources on enforcing traffic stops for reasons that are most likely to cause harm, like dangerous driving and DUI, which data shows increases safety on the roads while reducing racial disproportionality in traffic stops. The bill also provides community funding to shift focus away from fees, fines and punitive enforcement and towards helping people fix their vehicles to increase compliance and road safety.
