What it does

The measure would provide funding for the Department of Transportation to install all-way crosswalks at sites next to school properties during fiscal year 2026–2027.

Argument forCrosswalks near schools could give students and other people safer ways to cross roads, depending on where the department installs them.

Argument againstBecause the appropriation amount is blank in the supplied text, communities cannot tell how many school sites the funding could cover.
