Lois Durso and I have had some excellent conversations with Senators and staffers in both Houses this week. When we have their ear and a bit of time to make them aware of the depth of the underride issue, they really seem to get it.
I only hope that this effort and the upcoming D.C. Underride Crash Test Event on March 26 will bear fruit very soon.
Continuing to raise awareness about, and foster bipartisan support of, the #STOPunderrides! Bill, plus prepare for the March 26 D.C. Underride Crash Test.
Thank you for speaking with us today, @SenGaryPeters @SenatorCruz & @SenToddYoung. @durso_lois pic.twitter.com/3QaC2iQ9tO

Karth and Durso are working hard to bring a truck underride crash test to DC on March 26th. Seeing is believing! #STOPunderrides @MaryandAnnaLeah pic.twitter.com/bggS4hM9sD

Since the original introduction of the bill on December 12, 2017, unnecessary delay has already allowed far too many underride deaths and injuries to continue occurring — especially when this preventable problem has been known about for decades.
