• Abstract:
  Professionals in transportation and public health share a goal of addressing the enduring and tragic issue of injury and death on our roadways. Between 36,000 and 43,000 people have died in traffic crashes in the United States each year since 2016 (U.S. Department of Transportation National Highway Safety Administration, 2022) and motor vehicle crashes are among the leading causes of unintentional death and injury in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). Further, significant racial disparities exist, with BIPOC individuals making up a disproportionate percentage of road deaths (Governors Highway Safety Association, 2021).
