WASHINGTON, June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ VERITY NOW, a leading coalition voice on promoting equity in auto safety, released the following statement from Catherine McCullough, a transportation policy expert and VERITY NOW coalition member
, regarding Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton s announcement to introduce a bill to enhance vehicle safety for women by requiring government crash testing to include both male and female test dummies in the driver seat. We applaud Congresswoman Holmes Norton for her commitment to addressing the blatant gender inequities in auto safety testing. Government standards for vehicle crash testing are outdated and unequal, causing thousands of women to be needlessly killed and injured every year. This deadly gender bias in vehicle safety is unacceptable.
