FABB is excited to pass along this news for local cyclists and community advocates! The Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA) is launching an innovative crash tracker and reporting tool. This is not just another app—it’s a leap towards safer streets and a more cycling-friendly community in the DC Metro area. The new tool empowers all road users to report near-miss incidents, traffic crashes, unauthorized vehicles in bike lanes, and hazardous street conditions.
Imagine turning your close calls or observations into actionable data that speaks directly to those who can make changes. WABA’s tool does exactly that. By filling out a detailed form, you contribute to a larger effort to map out and address dangerous areas, ensuring that every road user’s voice can lead to tangible improvements.
WABA assures that users’ privacy is paramount and personal details, including names and email addresses, will remain confidential. No information will be forwarded to any police department or corporation. But here’s where it gets empowering – you have the option to send your report directly to local elected officials and transportation departments. This isn’t just reporting; it’s advocating for a safer cycling environment, encouraging necessary adjustments to road infrastructure.
The tool isn’t merely a database; it’s a call to action. It serves as a potent advocacy instrument that can be used to signal to local governments the urgent need to address the issues that cyclists and other vulnerable road users face daily. From perilous intersections to flawed administrative processes and inadequate infrastructure, your reports will help illuminate the challenges and pave the way for positive change.
Use this link to be part of the solution! And please share this tool with friends and family, and let’s collectively improve our streets.
