Fellow Federationists:

I am pleased to write to you this evening to let you know that, thanks to 
your hard work, the Senate passed S. 841, the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement 
Act, late last evening.

As you know from previous legislative alerts, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 
S. 3302, was not allowed to move forward due to a couple of senators placing 
holds on the bill. It was decided that the Senate would take the 
noncontroversial pieces of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and attempt to pass 
them as standalone bills. Our Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act was one of 
these pieces, and it was passed by unanimous consent. S. 841 will now move 
to the House for consideration.

I am asking that you contact your member of the House of Representatives and 
urge them to pass S. 841 as received from the Senate on the suspension 
calendar. You may be connected to your member of the House by calling the 
Capitol switchboard toll free at (866) 727-4894. We are one step closer to 
completing our work on this important issue, and I urge you all to make one 
last push to finish the job.

Thank you very much for your dedication on the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement 
Act. I will update you with new information on House action when it is 
available.
