Evidence
On May 21, 2026, Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Sen. Richard Blumenthal reintroduced the Road to Zero resolution to reduce traffic fatalities and improve roadway safety. The release says the measure aims to end roadway fatalities by 2050 by improving data collection and promoting access to safe, reliable transportation.
Assessments
The promise is framed as an effort commitment rather than a guarantee of achieving zero roadway fatalities immediately. Evidence shows that on May 21, 2026, Rep. Schakowsky reintroduced the Road to Zero resolution, a concrete legislative action directly tied to the stated promise to work toward ending roadway fatalities and improving safety through that resolution. Because she materially advanced the exact resolution while serving in office, the promise is best judged as delivered in the same term.
