"Fatality trends between 2011 and 2021 point to one consistent trend: there is an evident correlation between states and cities with high car dependency and those with highest per capita fatality rates." @Anusha_Chitturi & Glendedora Dolce https://t.co/HHudcjXZjH #RoadSafety
"Between 1990 and 2017, Spain reduced road traffic fatalities by 80%, Sweden by 67%, and the Netherlands by 55%. All of them have focused on reducing speeds and prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users by redesigning and reengineering their roads." https://t.co/sybkevhx9O
Road traffic safety is one area where there’s a lot of intention that hasn’t translated to policy action or outcomes. Tackling speeds impacting vulnerable road users in urban areas is where we could start. https://t.co/R8CE2lpgoA
What a great event about data, mobility, and sustainability! It’s so important that we learn from each other - to be more sustainable, inclusive, and people focused in our approach. Thank you to the panelists and authors!
Glad to have had the opportunity to work with an incredible team on this report. Read to learn how states can use new infrastructure funding to prioritise workforce development in the transportation and clean energy sectors.
📢🆕 NEW REPORT ALERT: Check out a new report by @EnoTrans, @MarkleFdn, and @NASEO_Energy that clarifies feasible actions states can take to prioritize job quality and build inclusive workforces in transportation and clean energy.

My @BrookingsMetro colleagues have ideas about how federal, state & local govts can get the most out of the big increase in federal instructure spending -- $1.25 trillion in transportation, energy, water, and broadband sectors over the next decade. https://t.co/bmNTFwiTf9
Read about MTA ridership projections, expected budget shortfalls in the coming years, and what the agency is doing to address the looming fiscal cliff issues
Part 2 of my Transit Fiscal Cliff Analysis is out now! Read below to see how transit agencies across the country are identifying when their fiscal cliff may occur and how big of a deficit they will have. https://t.co/Xnn84S475W
Safety of drivers and riders is also a top concern for transit agencies. There needs to be a broader partnership between transit agencies, cities, and enforcement agencies to address these issues
Read @garett_shrode’s brilliant piece on fiscal cliff facing transit agencies in the U.S. He analyses to what extent transit agencies depend on fares, impacts of COVID-19, and resulting budget shortfalls. https://t.co/H3emq6GQpY
