Many of these bills originated as recommendations from WMC members who serve on our various policy committees and were developed by our in-house team of attorneys and policy experts. is report outlines the results of our lobbying effort on the most signiMcant business legislation of the session.

DAVID Crowley STATE REPRESENTATIVE
^ DAVID Crowley STATE REPRESENTATIVE Testimony on Assembly Bill 365 Assembly Committee on Local Government October 16, 2019 Chairman Novak and members of the Assembly Committee on Local Government, thank you for holding a public hearing on Assembly Bill 365 (AB365), which would create a 5-year pilot program to allow the City of Milwaukee to use automated speed enforcement systems and traffic control photographic systems. Special recognition to the committee members — Representatives’ Cindi Duchow and Ken Skowronski, — for co-sponsoring this important legislation and my co author Chairman Novak for bringing this issue before us today. All Wisconsinites deserve to feel safe on our roads. That is why I introduced AB365, The Safe Roads Save Lives Act. This bill would provide law enforcement in Wisconsin’s biggest city with the 21st century tools and technology needed to ensure safer roads, leading to a safer and more positive experience for residents and the millions of tourists visiting Milwaukee each year. As a community, it is time that we focus on prevention, not punishment. Reckless driving in the City of Milwaukee has risen to epidemic levels, which necessitates swift and innovative action. Over the last eight years, traffic related fatalities have risen 75%. The Milwaukee Police Department simply does not have the resources to focus on complete traffic enforcement while simultaneously keeping violent crime rates down. Studies show that as enforcement of traffic laws increases, so does compliance. This bill is necessary to increase compliance with our traffic laws, to proactively prevent individuals from reckless driving, and ensuring safer roadways throughout the city, and therefore, the state.
