Where should our attention be focused to reduce the epidemic of traffic violence—The built environment? Drivers? Engineers and planners? Car culture? What IS car culture?

Today, organizations are joining a USDOT call to action to make roadways safe for everyone by supporting the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) that includes #VisionZero, #SafeSystems, and safe walking, biking, and rolling for all.
A recent NRSS progress report details efforts in the last year and next steps: https://bit.ly/3RwH23h
Getting to zero fatalities and injuries will require everyone doing their part. Join the call and share specific actions here:
