Dear President Biden: Motor vehicle safety must be an infrastructure priority
Delaware News Journal
Dear President Biden:
Like you, we are families who have suffered the death or injury of a child, spouse or loved one because of a car or truck crash, hot car incident or seatback failure. And, like you we are committed to saving others from experiencing our profound loss. Affordable technological solutions to stop these senseless deaths and injuries should be available to everyone regardless of where you live or your income level.
As Congress moves toward passage of one of your key priorities transportation and infrastructure legislation we urge you to ensure that critical vehicle safety remedies are included in the bill you sign into law.
