@SteenlageJess Hi Jess! Sorry for the late reply. I don’t use Twitter very often🙂 Yes, my staff and I from the City Traffic Engineering team are here to help. Please feel free to email [email protected] or call 266–4761. Thank you!

Today marks World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims #WDoR2022. We lost 57 lives here in Madison over the last 5 years. Zero is the only acceptable goal and we will never stop working till we achieve our #VisionZero goal.

[Karen Giese @karenlgiese]

Vision Zero has hit a wall. How do we overcome this? Cities focus on complete successful projects + integrating safety-focused approaches into policy & planning. @TranspYang: federal support & collaboration is critical. @DavidZipper @NACTO #nacto2022

[Yang Tao, PhD, PE @TranspYang]
