Project Summary
The state of California and regional transportation planning agencies have committed to shifting mode share away from driving as a central strategy for reducing carbon emissions; despite these aims, cities have struggled to attract more users to transit, walking, and biking systems, and today’s users face exposure to traffic violence and other safety concerns. Would a worker-centered street safety model attract more investment in active transportation projects? Designed in partnership with community-based groups in Los Angeles, this project will gather information needed to develop a High Road Training Partnership (HRTP) for multimodal street safety. This will include investigating safety and jobs metrics for transportation investments. The research team will synthesize findings into a report and a community-facing presentation.
