Senator Scott Wiener is a staunch ally for safe streets in his district and statewide and that's why he's the winner of our Complete Streets and Livability Champion Award. He has not given up on his efforts to get Caltrans to follow its own Complete Streets policies despite strong resistance from the state agency and the Governor's vetoes of bills that had a lot of support in the legislature. He was also able to streamline CEQA approvals for bike and pedestrian projects, and has championed funding for public transit, speed governors on vehicles, and transparency on climate emissions from industry.
Assemblymember Phil Ting is the winner of our Gets the Wheel Turning Award because he has been a strong and thoughtful ally at the state capitol for bike riders and people on foot. Among his wins are adding protected bikeways to the Highway Design Manual, decriminalizing jaywalking, legalizing the use of cameras to enforce speed limits (via a pilot program), and a ban on bridge tolls for bikes and pedestrians.
