.@letspropelatl’s story map, published last month, details the toll of—and solutions for—Atlanta’s crash epidemic. https://t.co/MdNHxE1mUF

“The suburbanization of poverty…has meant that more lower-income Americans… have moved to communities built around the deadliest kinds of roads: those with multiple lanes and higher speed limits but few crosswalks or sidewalks.” @nytimes (1 of 3) https://t.co/PAdj2ENCJn

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Here in Atlanta, where pedestrian deaths are at crisis levels, just 10% of our streets account for more than 50% of all our pedestrian fatalities. One solution is clear: Safer street design saves lives. (2 of 3)

[Neill Davis @Neillo13]

The scary thing is these are conditions a few blocks away from 2 schools & this is how much space drivers claim when there are no PBLs. We should center protected space especially around the travel of kids @ATLDOT @apsupdate @AmirForATL

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

I made it sound easy but it's not easy...it is simple though. If streets are designed so people drive at safe speeds - let's say 25 mph - they are dramatically less likely to kill someone if there is a crash.

“Decatur has long been a leader when it comes to creating spaces that are safe and welcoming for people walking and biking.” https://t.co/cM6OMZLvwG

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

With so many recent crashes, especially involving people walking, we need a sense of urgency at state, regional, and local levels to deliver projects that make streets measurably safer #VisionZero

There is no one single solution to Atlanta’s traffic woes. Rather, a combination of high-quality, accessible, equitable transit, bike lanes, and safe streets will help to make our city an easier place to get around—and a better place to live for all. https://t.co/YlZtlJMYA6

I covered FOUR extended RED ALERTS - complete interstate closures - overnight Saturday and the @WSBTraffic Team and I covered a serious of major messes last Wed. PM. This is all more proof we need more ways around our fair town. Latest for @wsbradio & @ajc https://t.co/U2gnxUpHDO

Pedestrian safety is a choice we can make. Let’s transform our streets, #Atlanta, into spaces that are safe for everyone, not just for those behind the wheel. (3 of 3) https://t.co/BjyD1PdKIS

“Pedestrian deaths are the highest they’ve been in four decades” and Atlanta’s communities of color are the most impacted. This epidemic is fixable. (1 of 3) https://t.co/beJn8uPqWB

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

These deaths are not inevitable “accidents.” We can stop them by fixing the dangerous street design causing disproportionate car-crash deaths on just ten percent of Atlanta streets. These streets are often located in communities of color. (2 of 3)

@andishehnouraee @andishehnouraee aren't you worried that only 200,000 people a day are going to get this joke?

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Hey @MARTAservice where's the 10:30 pm route 24 bus from Edgewood? It's not here, not on the real-time bus, and didn't see an alert.

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Bus route I grew up on: 33 Briarcliff (RIP) 🏫
Bus route I spent young adulthood riding to work, bars, and dates: 71 Cascade 🤩
Route I ride with my family, to the movies, to get Downtown: 21 Memorial 🚸
What route do you rely on?

[Urban Studies Institute - Georgia State @urban_gsu]

Tomorrow is #TransitEquityDayATL. @letspropelatl has some actions for ya'll in addition to riding transit.

And at USI, we are continuing cross-sector partnerships to improve health access through transit #S4A in addition to our #micromobility lab co-directed @Fei_Li1

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Headed to @CityofAtlanta @andreforatlanta #TransitEquityDayATL press conference on @MARTAtransit @googlemaps @letspropelatl #Wheresmybus🤔

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

OMW to her memorial/rally to raise awareness of pedestrian safety today at 1 pm: Scott Blvd / Blackmon Dr intersection. Wear red or gold

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Just signed this petition created by Quanisha Ball's mother. Quanisha was killed trying to cross 7-lane Scott Blvd. "Add laws to protect pedestrians. We can make a difference!" #Justice4Quanisha https://t.co/SF7P8sZsG7 via @Change

Everyone needs to get places safely & the lack of good transportation options is holding us back as individuals and as a city! If this resonates with you, support safer streets & sidewalks + better transit for #GivingTuesday. Donate to @letspropelatl: https://t.co/BG7ntAminI

[Rebecca Serna @SernaRCW]

Had a close call recently while crossing Atlanta's deadliest street (Mom, please don't watch this video) It shook me up and reminded me (as if I needed another reminder) how far we have to go, despite the progress we've made. This work is personal to me as it is to many of you.

[Stephanie Stuckey @StuckeyStop]

This motivated me to donate to @letspropelatl #GivingTuesday
