Notas del editor
- Momentum
- Intersections & arterials Examples of outcomes of City study
- Safe streets and walkable transportation are public health issues. Transportation is more than just getting around and from place to place.
- Our research educates the public, gets decision makers thinking and hopefully clears the path for government action
- Cities are ideal for biking, walking and transit. Sometimes we have to point out the obvious – my favorite kind of study
- As vehicle speeds increase, the chance of death when struck increases, for everyone.
