Welcome to Streets For All’s Mobility Report Card, a first-of-its-kind
comprehensive look at each member of the California Legislature
and their mobility record over the past two years.
The Report Card is based on the voting and authorship records of
each member of the Legislature with respect to all bills sponsored
or supported by Streets For All during the 2021-2022 legislative
session. This legislation would not have been possible without the
hard work of other advocacy organizations and mobility-minded
legislators, many of whom we honor in this report.
California is plagued with many chronic transportation challenges.
The design of car-centric communities over the past century has
created a multitude of crises impacting the safety, environment,
and quality of life of all Californians— including increased traffic
congestion, air and noise pollution, expensive housing costs, and
traffic violence.
The Streets For All State Team advocates at the California
Legislature and state agencies to create a safe, equitable
transportation system that serves all people, aligns with our
climate goals, and meets the needs of a diverse and robust
economy on track to be the fourth largest in the world.
Letter from the
Co-Directors

To achieve these goals, we need safe, reliable, sustainable, and
multimodal transportation. The state must prioritize rail, dedicated
bus lanes, protected bicycle lanes, and pedestrian infrastructure over
single occupancy vehicles—a complete reversal of the last several
decades of harmful car-centric transportation policy.
It is time to embrace innovative solutions like aerial gondolas, e-bikes,
e-scooters, curb management technology, and automated and
electrified trains while avoiding gadgetbahns and scams that claim to
magically fix traffic. These antics only induce more car dependency
and create environmentally harmful infrastructure.
California needs land use policy that energizes our urban centers
by prioritizing space for housing, businesses, transit, and bicycle/
pedestrian infrastructure over privately owned vehicle storage or
roadway capacity.
The Legislature is making serious efforts to tackle these mobility
issues. This report highlights the key bills and individual legislators
helping to create a better future.
This report:
• Provides our allies and partners with valuable information to
identify legislators with similar policy objectives
• Encourages legislators and their staff to improve their support
for mobility policy in future sessions
• Recognizes legislators for strong voting records and brings
constructive attention to those without
This report card is a retrospective of what went right, what went wrong,
and who contributed to advancing mobility in California— it serves
as a reminder to legislators: Californians want better transportation
options and we deserve representatives who are aligned on that
mission. Streets For All ensures accountability by watching every vote
and abstention through each step of the legislative process.
Our sincere thanks for reading and sharing this report with your
community. We could not be successful in this work without your
support.
Sincerely,
Marc Vukcevich and Bubba Fish
Co-Directors, State Policy

All Californians have the right
to use our streets and public
spaces safely, comfortably, and
efficiently regardless of their age,
income, race, gender, geography,
or abilities.
Everyone benefits from
complete streets, which offer
safety, comfort, and convenience
for all users.
Now is the time for bold
action. Small, incremental steps
will not suffice when thousands
of lives are cut short by traffic
violence each year and climate
change threatens our very
existence.
What We Fight For Streets For All believes...

What We Believe
Long-term planning is
always more effective than a
quick fix. All too often, major
infrastructure projects suffer from
short-term thinking. We support
transformative plans that will
put us on the right path today
to creating a better, safer, and
healthier future for us all.
California has the potential
to become a model for other
states to emulate as we fight
climate change and make strides
to solve our congestion and
traffic violence crises.
We will only accomplish
our goals by welcoming
views from a wide swath of
advocates, including people
of all races, genders, ages,
abilities, neighborhoods, and
backgrounds. This philosophy
guides our work— the legislation
we develop, the policies we
champion, and the legislators we
support.

This Mobility Report Card is intended to arm
advocates across California with the information
they need to assess their legislators’ mobility voting
records.
We hope this report helps start or continue
conversations between advocates and their elected
leaders. A high score provides an opportunity for
advocates to acknowledge and thank their electeds
for their leadership on mobility issues, whereas
advocates can leverage less than stellar scores to
reconnect with legislators and reaffirm the importance
of equitable, sustainable, and safe transportation
options for all Californians.
Constituents may also consider sharing the news
on social media, with press outlets, in their local
political organizations, and with other organizations
or advocates to assist them in communicating the
impact of their legislators’ mobility choices.
We hope that this report card can spark a
conversation with your representatives about how
policy can be leveraged to create a safe, mobile,
and equitable society.
Streets For All is providing a tool with this
report to share your legislators’ scores and
raise awareness of their mobility records at
streetsforall.org/report-card,
How to Leverage this Report
27

Streets For All hopes this report inspires
policymakers to strengthen their efforts to advance
mobility in California.
High scores reflect substantive support and
authorship on legislation that moves the state
closer to sustainable and widespread multimodal
transportation. Average scores indicate areas for
improvement. Low scores point to opportunities for
voters to apply pressure on their representatives to
improve.
As the new session begins, we urge lawmakers to
support, sponsor, and author ambitious legislation
that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, decreases
vehicle miles traveled, increases funding for
services that support cycling, walking, micromobilty,
accessible devices, and transit.
Streets For All is committed to providing advice
and support to legislators who share our goals
and can work together to create a better mobility
future.
To collaborate with us, email
state@streetsforall.org.
How can Legislators Improve?
28

Methodology
Legislators were evaluated based on their
voting and bill authorship history with respect to
legislation sponsored or endorsed by Streets For
All using the following point system.
Legislators received +1 point for voting AYE on any
Streets For All supported bill in committee or on
the floor, -0.3 for an abstention*, and -1 for a NAY
vote.
Points were totaled for each Streets For All
endorsed bill, resulting in a cumulative subtotal.
Extra points were added based on bill authorship,
+1.5 for authors, +0.75 for principal co-authors,
and +0.5 for co-authors.
* We did our best to remove as many excused absences as we could find
from our data set, please reach out if you have any concerns.
Scores were calculated by dividing the total
earned points for each legislator by the total
number of voting opportunities and then
normalizing their score on a 0-100% scale
respective to all other legislators. Legislators who
scored above 100% were given the grade of
extraordinary.
Bills sponsored by other organizations are
scored with the same weight as bills sponsored
by Streets For All. We take as much pride in
supporting legislation created by other advocates
as we do our own.
