Better Cars and Safer Streets

People should have broad access to safe, fuel-efficient, low polluting transportation that is reliable, affordable, and meets their individual needs. That’s why CR champions government protections and corporate behaviors that promote a better car market and more mobility options. And it’s why we work to empower people – so their voices and choices can help steer that market in their favor.
