Our Charter

Slow Down Sacramento Charter

Our Vision

We envision a Sacramento where every street is safe for all—motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and any other user. We believe in a city where respect and caution reign, where every resident shares in the responsibility to create safer streets, and where speed limits are observed not just as a legal obligation but as a social contract we honor for the safety of all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster a culture of safe, respectful, and courteous-minded driving within Sacramento, reducing the risk of collisions and safeguarding the lives of all road users.

Our Values

Safety First: We advocate for the safety of all road users. We believe in the importance of following speed limits and traffic rules to prevent collisions and save lives.

Respect: We promote respect for all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, public transportation riders, and all other users.

Responsibility: We encourage every resident to take individual responsibility for making our roads safer.

Community: We are committed to fostering a sense of community among residents in the Sacramento region, uniting us all in the cause of road safety.

Inclusivity: We believe everyone has a right to safe transportation, regardless of their mode of travel.

Our Goals

  1. Advocate for policy changes that prioritize road safety.
  2. Encourage individuals and organizations to pledge their commitment to safer driving habits.
  3. Raise public awareness about the importance of road safety.

Our Strategies

  1. Grassroots Advocacy: We will mobilize Sacramento-area residents to support our cause, encouraging them to advocate for safer streets.
  2. Community Actions: We will organize and uplift community events, safety campaigns, and educational initiatives that promote safe driving behaviors.
  3. Social Media Advocacy: We will use social media platforms to reach a wider audience, share our message, and engage with our supporters and coalition members.
