U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg releases a plan that emphasizes moving people safely, not cars quickly.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg released a plan Thursday to redesign roads, reduce speeds and push for more vehicle safety features, vowing to cut fatalities nationwide just weeks after Los Angeles closed out a year that saw a significant increase in deadly collisionsThe plan, called the National Roadway Safety Strategy, would be paid for by funds from the Biden administration’s, with the impossible-sounding goal of “zero roadway fatalities.
Reynolds called the plan “a tremendous win for cities like L.A., where we’ve been implementing a safety-first approach for years ... With the resources and focus of the federal government, we have a much better opportunity to address the wave of traffic violence that has torn apart far too many families and communities in our city and nationwide.“
“It is so refreshing to see a Transportation secretary recognize that the purpose of roads isn’t just to get cars through as quickly as possible,” Schneider said. Over the last decade, deaths of pedestrians and bicyclists have risen faster than roadway fatalities as a whole, which has had a “chilling effect” on human-powered climate-friendly modes of transportation.
It would push for local governments to plan, design and construct safer roads, efforts that would be paid for with federal funds. It would prod automakers to incorporate crash-avoidance features such as automatic emergency braking into new passenger vehicles. And it would focus on shortening ambulance response times when collisions occur.
“We’re shifting from a system that’s all about moving cars to a system that’s about moving people,” Frattaroli said. “We haven’t ever seen leadership in the transportation world put safety, or equity, or environmental concerns front and center. It’s very exciting.”
