Missouri Families for Safer Roads commends Senate Transportation Committee for overwhelming rejection of proposed ban on red light cameras
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Wednesday, February 25, 2009
By an overwhelming 8-2 vote, the Missouri Senate Transportation Committee rejected legislation that would have banned red light cameras in the state. Red light cameras are proven tools for enforcing traffic safety laws.
Missouri Families for Safer Roads is grateful that the Senate Transportation Committee recognized with its Feb. 25 vote that red light cameras are working. They are working in raising driver awareness, reducing crashes and saving countless lives.
We commend the Senate Transportation Committee for its responsible action, and we encourage Missourians to learn more about the proven effectiveness of red light cameras by visiting our nonpartisan statewide coalition’s Web site:
