On Thursday March 5, 2009, Jason Rivenburg was resting in his truck when assailants shot, killed, and robbed him for what amounted to a few dollars. 12 miles from his destination, he was unable to find safe parking and was forced to pull into a vacant lot that was frequently used by truckers. At the time, Jason had a young son and his wife was expecting twins. Support Jason's Law (HR2156) which calls for federal support in expanding our nation's safe truck parking infrastructure. This bill creates a pilot program to invest 120 million dollars over a 6 year period.
Jason's family, friends, and the trucking community has worked vigilantly to raise awareness and drive support for this bill. OOCVA asks that you take a moment, pick up the phone, and do your part to help protect yourself and those you love. Call your representatives today!
Follow efforts on both Facebook and Twitter. Sign the online petition for congressional support of Jason's Law, HR2156 and track the bill's progress at govtrack.us
