MARK YOUR CALENDARS*Dangerous by Design 2018* is coming...
If 6,000 people died in plane crashes every year in America, air travel
would grind to a halt and the industry would be thrown into chaos. Flying
might be a technological marvel, a feat of human ingenuity and engineering,
but it wouldn't be worth thousands of lives. We would find a solution.
Unfortunately, nearly 6,000 people were killed in 2017 doing something
much more commonplace than flying: walking. In fact, even as traffic
fatalities overall have been decreasing, pedestrian fatalities have been on
the rise over the last decade. However, the danger of being hit and killed
is not the same in every place, and that danger is increasing more in some
communities than others.
The National Complete Streets Coalition will release *Dangerous by Design
2018* on January 23, 2019, ranking each state and the 100 most populous
metro areas based on how deadly they are for people walking. Join us on
Thursday,
January 24 for a webinar
<http://action.smartgrowthamerica.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=yGfkhv8Fb%2BqxJeyhHUfJMhTas7rGAODk>
with experts about the results of the report, and importantly, what can
be done to save lives.
<http://action.smartgrowthamerica.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=nBWVM8DbYIDb79%2BwmtRzCRTas7rGAODk>
Using the most recent federal data on pedestrian fatalities from the
Fatality Analysis Reporting System, *Dangerous by Design 2018* creates a
"Pedestrian Danger Index" (PDI) for each metro area and state. The PDI
allows us to compare the relative risk to pedestrians among jurisdictions
with different levels or walking.
For more information ahead of the release, see *Dangerous by Design 2016*
