Letter: Urgent action needed on traffic violence in Washington, D.C

|
D.C. committed to Vision Zero in 2015, envisioning a future where there will be zero serious injuries or fatalities on its streets. This would of course be a major public health and equity accomplishment. Beyond avoiding tragic traffic deaths, safe streets would likely induce further uptake of walking, cycling, and alternative modes of transit, thus creating many other benefits via reduced air emissions and increased exercise. Unfortunately, traffic deaths in D.C. have been steadily increasing rather than decreasing. This is the result of a failure to pursue reckless drivers, as described above, as well as other breakdowns in governance, such as the failure to use the results of commissioned safety studies to establish priorities for infrastructure projects. We urge you to pursue the following actions at the legislative and executive levels in order to reduce risks from traffic violence while enhancing economic and racial equity.
