Over the past 1️⃣5️⃣ years, pedestrian dea

Over the past 1️⃣5️⃣ years, pedestrian deaths and serious injuries in America have continued to rise. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed a new rule that vehicles will be designed to protect those inside and outside from severe injury or death.

The proposed rule would establish a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard requiring new passenger vehicles to be designed to reduce the risk of serious-to-fatal injuries for pedestrian crashes.

While this new proposed rule could help to lower 📉 the number of pedestrians with serious to fatal injuries, it does not address the main reason most pedestrian injuries and deaths happen.

Speed kills. Building streets that require people in vehicles to slow down is the most effective method of ensuring a safe environment exists for all road users.

A new study 📚 shows that separated bike lanes reduce maximum car speeds by 28%, average speeds for turning cars by 21%, and 8% for cars going straight.

Installing protected or separated bike lanes can help radically decrease 📉 traveling speeds and increase 📈 biking safety around the community.

The photos are thanks to Jackson Hotaling, Community Engagement Director for Missourians for Responsible Transportation. This is the new separated concrete bike lanes on Emmanuel Cleaver in Kansas City.

🚏 Go COMO is far-free for another year! 🚌

Far-free transit helps to boost the social mobility and economic opportunities in the community. Since the beginning of the pandemic places all over the world from Spain to Tucson, AZ to Kansas City have removed fares and have fought ✊🏽 to keep them away.

We’re happy that Columbia is keeping the transit free for the foreseeable future!
