Pedestrian and cyclist deaths are skyrocketing in America, driven by the rise of oversized SUVs and trucks with poor visibility, dangerous designs, and speeding drivers. This is a preventable crisis, and we have the power to change it.
The solution is within reach. By pushing for safer vehicle design standards and adopting life-saving technologies, we can directly address the reasons so many people outside of cars are injured or killed. Together, we can reverse this deadly trend and create safer streets for everyone to walk, bike, and roll.
Take the Safer Fleets Challenge
Governments must lead by example and show their commitment to safety by retrofitting their fleets to follow the very speed limits they set. With Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology, which is already commercially available, vehicles can be equipped to help drivers automatically maintain safe, legal speeds. This is a simple yet impactful step to make our streets safer for everyone.
