In October 2023, 13-year-old Liam Stewart was hit and killed by a driver while riding his bike to school. His father Josh refused to let that be the end of the story. Thanks to Josh's fearless advocacy, the Liam Stewart School Zone Act (HB26-1318) is now Colorado law.

It creates a statewide standard for the size of school zones, supports Safe Routes to Schools, and creates a framework for communities to implement School Streets, which have a maximum speed limit of 10 mph and potentially other safety features.

We're grateful for Josh’s hard work. Liam's name is now part of Colorado law, and his memory is part of this movement.

Yesterday, Governor Polis signed SB26-132, Magnus' Law - Voluntary Alcohol Breath Test, into law. This law would not have happened without Magnus White's family and the community they have rallied through Thewhiteline.org.

Parents, grandparents, school leaders, crossing guards, and advocates—this conversation is for you. Join us for a Safe Streets for Kids Webinar on Tuesday, June 16th, from 11 am - 12 pm.
