Ironic Justice: U.S. diplomat Sarah Debbink Langenkamp returned from her work in Ukraine, a literal war zone, only to be killed in a bike lane by a truck driver making a right turn in Bethesda, Maryland. The Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Act would unlock roadway safety funds for local governments. Taylor talks about the act with Portland Congressmember Earl Blumenauer, who cosponsored the act, and Sarah's husband, Daniel Langenkamp.
