Finally, almost 15 months later, U.S. Department of Transportation has published the data on 2021 pedestrian deaths—7,341 people were struck and killed by motor vehicles that year. It’s hard for organizations to tackle the root causes of these issues when our picture of the crisis is far out of date. 🧵

According to National Safety Council, the total cost of motor vehicle deaths, injuries, property damage is $400-500 billion per year. That includes medical expenses, lost wages, repairs, etc. Cost of a single traffic fatality ranges ~$1-15 million per victim, measured by age

While the most important thing to know about our automobile based transportation system is that it kills and injures hundreds of thousands of young, healthy people every year, it’s also important to remember it also makes our cities loud, polluted, sprawling, ugly and boring.

Stop framing the bike lanes debate around how drivers are affected. Data from TfL shows cycling & walking: 🛍️ Boost sales for local businesses, increasing retail spend by up to 30% ⚕️ Improve health & productivity, reducing sick days by 27% 💚 Lower GHG emissions&air pollution

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via Streetsblog USA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/29/pro…

New report finds that over 8,000 pedestrians were killed on US roadways in 2022. Jimmy Carter was president the last time that happened. ghsa.org/resources/Pede…

Crashes, injuries, and fatalities just keep going up. The U.S. stands apart from other developed nations in these metrics. Who thinks it would be beneficial to get auto execs, civil engineers, and urban planners to spend time on a trauma service? npr.org/2023/06/26/118…

the fact that Los Angeles has more than 10x as many homeless people than Houston despite spending billions more on homelessness programs shows that the most effective policy to tackle homelessness is simply legalizing housing

Physical inactivity is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. New urbanism makes physical activity an easy choice. Design influences behavior. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
