October 2021 is National Pedestrian Safety Month 

Visit https://www.trafficsafetymarketing.gov/get-materials/pedestrian-safety/everyone-pedestrian for more information and campaign materials. 

In 2019, there were 6,205 pedestrians killed and 76,000 injured in traffic crashes.  On average, a pedestrian was killed every 85 minutes and injured every 7 minutes in 2019. 

More than 6 in 10 people walk for transportation, exercise, relaxation, or for other activities. The benefits of walking extend beyond personal and physical, to environmental benefits that can lead to healthier, quieter, cleaner, and safer streets. Walking can also improve local economies and enhance social and community engagement, leading to more vibrant, resilient, and livable spaces.

Let's increase awareness about how we can combat pedestrian crashes in our communities.
