Milestones

Review and update vehicle phone laws: allow mobile access while stopped in traffic for updates and emergencies. Promote clear guidelines and support tech innovations for safer roads.

We seek updated legislation because we think current laws do not reflect today’s technology. We think allowing drivers to access real-time traffic updates and emergency info while stopped could reduce congestion and prevent accidents. We think this change supports innovation and ensures drivers stay informed, ultimately enhancing overall road safety.
