Walk & Roll to School: The Positive Environmental and Health Impacts Guests: Stephen Heiny, research associate, Highway Safety Research Center, University of North Carolina (UNC), and Ishaa Gadkari, State Physical Activity Coordinator, RI Department of Health - Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). In 1969, 48 percent of students in grades K-8 walked or rode a bike to school. In 2017, only 11 percent of students in grades K-8 eight walked or rode bikes to school. Research studies identify safety concerns as the primary reason for the decrease. Safety considerations include traffic volume and speed, sidewalk and crosswalk infrastructure, incidents of crime and levels of policing. In this episode, we talk about how to redesign community environments in ways that support safe routes to school and events like the National Walk & Roll to School Day, an annual October event. We also discuss the environmental and health benefits of walking to school. Stephen Heiny joins us from the Highway Safety Research Center. He focuses on youth active travel safety, Vision Zero and the Safe System approach, supporting safety efforts in North Carolina and across the United States. He evaluates speed reduction countermeasures, provides technical assistance for Safe Routes to School programs and supports the annual Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day events. Ishaa Gadkari joins us from the RI Department of Health. As the State Physical Activity Coordinator, she directs the Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). Ishaa specializes in projects related to the built environment, active transportation and physical activity. She is passionate about walkable cities and environments, public transportation and health policy. She supports city and town fun runs and walks, Safe Routes to School, Walking School Bus and Safe Routes to Parks.

Cape Town’s traffic calming policy was last updated in 2016 and at the time focused mainly on schools, using measures like speed humps and mini circles on local roads. Many communities outside these categories struggled to get interventions. The new Draft 2025 Policy keeps schools as a priority but introduces changes including annual delivery targets, allowing councillors and private funders to motivate projects, and creating limited exceptions for busier roads in areas with high pedestrian traffic. Questions remain around which traffic calming measures will be allowed, as Urban Mobility design guidelines are yet to be defined. Roland Postma and Mikhail Manuel speak to Lester Kiewit about the draft policy, its potential impact on communities, and what steps could help make Cape Town’s streets safer, more accessible, and more responsive to local needs.

Clare County Council is considering changes to one of Ennis's most trafficked regional roads. Mayor of Ennis Clare Colleran-Molloy has this week asked for options to be examined around extending the footpath on the northern side of Centra on the Mill Road and has described the current situation as "dangerous". Ennis Municipal District says extending the footpath isn't possible due the presence of a two-storey former corn store built in 1790 which is a protected structure but says it's "confident" proposals in the upcoming Local Transport Plan will solve the issue. Fianna Fáil Councillor Colleran-Molloy says a pedestrian crossing is the most likely solution.

Dr. Elizabeth O'Neal, a transportation safety expert and professor at the University of Iowa College of Public Health, discusses her research on pedestrian safety, particularly in relation to driverless vehicles and children. She explains that her research uses virtual environments to study how children interact with traffic and make crossing decisions. She also discusses the implications of driverless technology and the need for clear communication between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians, especially children. Dr. O'Neal emphasizes the importance of considering the safety of vulnerable road users when developing policies and recommends teaching children about road safety beyond the basic "look right, look left" approach. She suggests that parents can use talk-aloud protocols to demonstrate their decision-making process when crossing roads. To stay informed about ongoing research and developments in this field, Dr. O'Neal suggests checking the websites of organizations such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the University of Iowa College of Public Health.

According to US News, more than 7,500 people were killed in 2022 after being struck by vehicles while walking along or across U.S. roadways. The highest level seen in 41 years and up 77% since 2010. A similar trend is seen among cyclists, which in 2023 saw one of its deadliest years on record for bike fatalities. Larger vehicles, reckless driving habits picked up during the pandemic lockdown, and car-centric urban design have all been cited as possible explanations for the increase in fatalities. But when looking at the data and hearing the heart-wrenching stories of families and friends impacted by pedestrian deaths and injuries, it's clear more should be done to ensure it's safe to walk and bike in America.rnrnRight now, several plans are in the works to improve pedestrian experiences and bike pathways in Cleveland. The City of Cleveland is in the process of developing a Vision Zero Action Plan to eliminate serious injuries and deaths on Cleveland roads. Lorain Avenue, Superior Ave, and even the Lakefront and Riverfront planning designs are in development--providing an incredible opportunity to incorporate strategies that increase the safety of pedestrians and cyclists.rnrnCan we rebuild a city that works for not just cars, but also pedestrians and cyclists? And what can we learn from best practices in planning and policy? Join us at the City Club to hear from local experts on past and current efforts, and what else can be done to ensure all cities - including Cleveland - have truly walkable and bikeable streets.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, traffic deaths have surged in cities across America. 2021 shaped up to be the deadliest for pedestrians in four decades.Data from the Governors Highway Safety Association estimates that drivers hit and killed more than 7,000 pedestrians in 2021, an average of 20 deaths per day.While data from 2022 isn't out yet, estimates indicate that the pedestrian safety crisis has only worsened.To help address the surge, the U.S. Department of Transportation released $800 million dollars in grants as a part of its Safe Streets for All program in February.We discuss the impact this federal investment will have on traffic deaths and how we can make communities safer for pedestrians.
