SF Supervisors Ready to Act on New Authority to Protect the Public
(San Francisco, CA) – Flanked by supporters at City Hall, Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) announced new legislation he authored, along with Assemblymember David Chiu (D- San Francisco) and Senator Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo), to increase tour bus safety inspections by allowing communities to operate their own safety inspection programs.
“The state’s inadequate inspection system cannot be our only option to ensure public safety,” said Assemblymember Ting. “Dangerous buses fall through the cracks, causing preventable tragedies on our streets. We must be able to take charge and protect ourselves. Innocent people are paying the price for failure and it’s time for big changes that will help us reduce traffic fatalities.”
