Presentation: Dangerous By Design
Smart Growth America has produced a continuous series called "Dangerous by Design" where we use federal data to develop a data-driven ranking of the most dangerous places in the U.S. for pedestrians. Consistently we see that pedestrian deaths are rising, that certain states in the U.S. fare much worse than others, and that vulnerable communities are at high risk for pedestrian death. This presentation discusses the methods of that report, the results, and implications for policy.
Presentation
This presentation will give an overview of Montgomery County’s efforts to develop a toolkit to improve not just the designs of roads, sidewalks, and transit stops for people with vision disabilities but also the planning and design processes to improve their ability to provide feedback. Montgomery County is committed to eliminating roadway deaths by 2030, and pedestrians with vision disabilities are among the most vulnerable road users. Learn about the new design tools Montgomery County is using to make it easier and safer for them to get around the County.
Presentation
In Confessions of a Recovering Engineer: Transportation for a Strong Town, renowned speaker and author of Strong Towns: A Bottom-Up Revolution to Rebuild American Prosperity Charles Marohn pulls back the curtain on the assumptions and approaches that go into building and managing America's transportation systems.
