Please Support the AV START Act!

Dear Senator,

I am writing to express my strong support for the Senate to take up and pass the AV START Act (S. 1885).

The Department of Transportation data show that human choice or error is a factor in approximately 94% of all crashes on U.S. roads—crashes that took the lives of approximately 40,000 men, women, and children in 2017. Development and eventual deployment of advanced vehicle technologies have the potential to save lives by significantly reducing the number of crashes. This decrease will also mean fewer roadway backups, diminishing both congestion and carbon emissions from vehicles.

Advanced vehicle technologies will also expand mobility options for people with disabilities, the elderly, and those who require access to more affordable transportation.

The AV START Act represents a historic opportunity for Congress to establish a technology neutral regulatory framework to advance these groundbreaking technologies while supporting research and investment in the U.S. A lack of congressional action on this important legislation will only cause uncertainty and delays in the development and ultimate deployment of such life-saving technologies.

Please support safer roads and vote in favor of the AV Start Act.

Regards, Your Name

Do you know if Senator Johnson is planning to vote yes on the budget resolution?

We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make meaningful changes to the American tax code. Passing the budget is the only way that we can continue to move forward toward job creation and economic growth.

Thank you for your time and speaking with me, and I hope to see Senator Johnson vote yes on the budget that will move tax reform forward.
