Where are @NHTSAgov, the rest of the @USDOT and Congress? If we mainly fund high-speed roads and allow large vehicles then we will continue to see #pedestrians die. It’s a simple equation.

Stop trying to educate drivers and actually build non-lethal vehicles and roads.
Driving in wet weather takes a little extra patience. It’s harder to control or stop your vehicle on a slick road. Increase your following distance so you’ll have plenty of time to stop for vehicles ahead of you. 🚗____🚗 ____🚗

Kudos to @andres_sevtsuk & team:
"Most U.S. city governments know very little about their sidewalk networks ... It seemed like a really important technology to develop, especially in an open-source way that can be used by other places.”

#LittleFallsParkway pilot project: Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission announces EVENING hearing - MARCH 23, time TBD. Many drivers want their road back (The "cars should rule" folks). Pedestrians and bikers need to show up! @actfortransit

#CompleteStreets projects with @FTA_DOT funding says bye, bye to requirement for matching funds. The waiver of the local match is in effect through 2026. Read FTA's Dear Colleague letter at transit.dot.gov/regulations-….

#DeathByWalking - Pedestrian fatalities rise with increasingly heavy, larger vehicles. Every week, the US loses an airplane's worth of human souls. When will @NHTSAgov step in? When will all 50 states prioritize #vulnerableroadusers? #VRU consumer.healthday.com/pedes…

Love this idea to return Pennsylvania Avenue to the people - who are taking it slowly by walking, biking or just spending time. ggwash.org/view/88405/make-a…

Just remember that if @TheNimbee stings, chocolate is the best antidote. That and better #transit, separated #bike lanes, apartment building homes near transit, and - the linchpin - a safe, attractive walking environment. #pedestrian @actfortransit
