Will you take 2 minutes today to help make the world a safer place for people who are blind and visually impaired?

 <https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-j/> 

Dear Amy,

Will you  <https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-t/> take 2 minutes today to help make the world a safer place for people who are blind and visually impaired?

Help us advocate to establish a consistent, recognizable sound for hybrid and electric cars.

Quiet, green cars are here to stay but they do pose one danger: silence. For anyone who can't see a car coming, they can be deadly. Sounds emitted by hybrid and electric vehicles should be clear, consistent and immediately recognizable.

Car makers are lobbying for a new rule allowing people to choose a custom sound for their silent vehicles. And while this is a creative idea, it will be inconsistent and confusing -- and therefore dangerous.

 <https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-i/> Add your voice to Perkins' comment submission. We will use your comments to tell the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that we want a consistent, clear and recognizable sound for silent cars now -- the public comment period closes on November 1.

 <https://perkins.cmail20.com/t/d-l-xtijjhd-ykdrjyyhdt-d/> Let's make green cars safer 

On behalf of everyone at Perkins, thank you for joining us in making the world an accessible and safe place for everyone.

Sincerely,

  <http://i1.cmail20.com/ei/d/06/A19/D81/csimport/KimCharlsonIdabelle_1.133509.jpg>
