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.
