No jokes, just facts! Crosswalk enhancements like yield markings and high visibility paint make pedestrians more visible and help prevent crashes. Check out the Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) Program to learn more! highways.dot.gov/safety/pede… #PedestrianSafetyMonth
Illustrative graphic titled "How Did the Pedestrian Cross the Road?" comparing two scenarios. On the left, a labeled crosswalk with advance markings and signs shows a pedestrian safely crossing as a car stops. On the right, a pedestrian crosses an unmarked section with vehicles in close proximity. Includes URL and logo for Step Up! Roadway Safety Advancements.

Thoroughly enjoyed being interviewed by Jeff Wood on the @theoverheadwire podcast from @StreetsblogUSA. Talked about importance of housing and density (it affects everything we try to do...) and our newly published Sustainable Urban Design Handbook. usa.streetsblog.org/2024/08/…

Talking Headways: America's Big Problem is a Lack of Density — Streetsblog USA

Let's face it, most of what we do in the United States is just a Band-Aid for a lack of urban density.

Vehicle miles traveled or #VMT replaced Level of Service as a #transportation impact metric in California in 2013. New research from @ITS_UCDavis explores the challenges of the LOS-to-VMT shift and how agencies responded: ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-pr…

In 2013, vehicle miles traveled (#VMT) replaced Level of Service as the primary #transportation impact metric in California. A new @ITS_UCDavis policy brief summarizes findings on how local governments navigated this change and the challenges they faced: ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-pr…
This image is from Figure 3 of the report associated with this policy brief. It shows the geographical distribution of responding jurisdictions in the study, the latter being cities and counties. The green dots represent respondent cities, while the light yellow shapes represent counties. The territory described by the figure extends from North California (Eureka) to the farthest south (San Diego County).
