Thank you to U.S. Sen. Patty Murray for her commitment to enhancing vehicle safety standards for women
VERITY Now would like to thank U.S. Senator Patty Murray of Washington state for her commitment to enhancing vehicle safety standards for women. Sen. Murray has been a leader in fighting for equality in vehicle safety testing and has consistently supported initiatives to make the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) use car crash test dummies and tests that represent female body types. Because of her support, and that of others in Congress, we are reassured that our concerns are finally being heard and starting to be addressed. Check out the full letter of thanks from our Co-Chairs published in the Seattle Times here.
