In this episode of ITE Talks Transportation, Joey Paskey, Director of Public Works for the City of Las Vegas, discusses the unique transportation challenges in a fast-growing city like Las Vegas, where she oversees a diverse infrastructure system that serves both residents and more than 40 million annual visitors. She emphasizes the city's proactive safety approach, including a Vision Zero action plan, and highlights the importance of clear public communication and collaboration with stakeholders. Paskey also reflects on lessons learned on the job—particularly around communication, maintenance, and budget management—that go beyond traditional engineering education.

In this episode of Radio Free Urbanism, hosts Nic, Sully, and Ethan cover Sacramento's automated bike lane enforcement and Vision Zero funding battles in Pierce County, to the challenges of designing roads for both emergency access and pedestrian safety. They discuss transit developments in Los Angeles, bike infrastructure standards, and housing regulations in California, while also reflecting on jaywalking's cultural history and a tragic incident in Vancouver that underscores the urgent need for safer, more equitable urban design.Send us a question: radiofreeurbanism@gmail.comPatreon: patreon.com/RadioFreeUrbanism Instagram: https://rb.gy/ezn9rzSully: https://www.youtube.com/@SullyvilleEthan: https://www.youtube.com/@climateandtransitNic: https://www.youtube.com/@nicthedoor

Are zero traffic deaths possible? This thought-provoking question sparks a crucial conversation about road safety and the future of transportation. As we continue to grapple with the devastating consequences of traffic accidents, it's essential to explore the possibilities of a world where zero traffic deaths are the norm. From advanced safety features to innovative infrastructure designs, we'll delve into the latest technologies and strategies aimed at reducing traffic fatalities. Join us as we examine the challenges, opportunities, and potential solutions to creating a safer and more sustainable transportation system. Can we achieve a future where zero traffic deaths are a reality?

The conversation around transportation in Denver can often feel like two steps forward, one step back. RTD built out a massive network of light rail lines thirty years ago, but now thousands of Denverites have abandoned the trains. Our elected officials talk a lot about ending traffic fatalities, but hesitate on making transformative changes to our streets. For almost ten years, Nate Minor has reported on Denver's unique transportation quandaries and challenges, driving the conversation on everything from RTD to bike lanes. But now he's leaving town for a job in Minnesota. So he's back on with host Bree Davies one last time to look back and share a few predictions. Nate mentioned Mayor Johnston's comments on transportation on our show back in February. For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.

Indiana's major property tax reform package is now law, as Governor Mike Braun signed the measure Tuesday. Indianapolis residents are being asked to help shape priorities for the city's Vision Zero initiative. The ACLU of Indiana sued the Trump Administration on Tuesday for revoking visas of seven international students studying at universities in Indiana. There are growing tensions over school choice, funding, and access — and very different visions for how to serve students of color and low-income families.

Pedestrian safety is a critical concern worldwide, and some countries have been particularly successful. Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, and Denmark have achieved 40-60 per cent reductions in pedestrian deaths over the last 20 years. Australia and New Zealand, however, lag and pedestrian safety is only marginally improving. Achieving Australia and New Zealand's vision for road safety, where no one is killed or seriously injured, will be challenging for pedestrian safety without a shift in our current approach. The Keeping People Safe When Walking: Stream 1 project found that comprehensive implementation of known interventions could reduce pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries in Australia and New Zealand by 70-90 per cent.  The webinar covered: pedestrian safety risk priorities priorities to improve the data needed to support investment in pedestrian safety strategies and interventions to progress Vision Zero for pedestrian safety

Cities across America have been trying — and mostly failing — to achieve Vision Zero for more than a decade. But is it really time to trade the goal of ending road deaths and serious injuries for the aim of reducing them 30 percent by 2030? And would we be better positioned to eliminate the other 70 percent of fatalities if we made that strategic shift, or not?  Today on the Brake, we sit down with the presdient of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, David Harkey, to talk about his organization's pivot to push for a five-year full-court press on traffic violence, and why he doesn't believe that means giving up on ending road deaths overall. And along the way, Kea presses him to examine what strategies would really rise to the surface if we set a tighter time horizon for more modest road safety gains, and why we have to sweat our strategy when it comes to saving lives.

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on 2/11/25, our guests discuss Rochester's Vision Zero initiative, which aims to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries.

If you've been following Streetsblog for a while, you might have heard of famed planner/engineer/all-around transportation superstar Roger Millar, not least for his recent leadership as the head of the Washington state DOT. But you might not have heard that, while at WashDOT, Millar and his team did something quietly radical: they challenged every decision maker in their state to confront the role of land use in saving lives in our roads, by changing the very framework on which the state's Vision Zero program rests. On this episode of The Brake, we sit down with Secretary Millar on the eve of his departure from WashDOT to talk about not just why that change could be so impactful, but how he wants his career to be remembered, even as he transitions to a new chapter. And along the way, we get into a deeper conversation about what state DOTs are really for, and how advocates can push them to do better.  

In this episode, I talk with Andrew Ceifetz, P.E., RSP2I, vice president and national director for transportation safety at WSP USA, about Vision Zero and its bold mission to make roads safer for everyone. From redesigning roadways to reducing speed limits, discover how these strategies are transforming communities and saving lives. ***The video version of […] The post Unlock the Magic of Vision Zero With Safer Roads for a Better World – Ep 279 appeared first on Engineering Management Institute.

The Portland Bureau of Transportation is falling short of meeting some of its safety goals, according to a new city audit. Vision Zero is an international effort to completely eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. The city of Portland adopted this philosophy in 2016, and while traffic deaths declined soon after, in 2021 they reached the highest they’ve been in the past three decades at 64. In 2023, those numbers are expected to be even higher, with early data standing at around 69 deaths. KC Jones is the audit services director for Portland. He joins us to share the details of the new audit. Dylan Rivera is the public information officer for PBOT. He also joins us to share the changes the agency will be making in response and the challenges of reaching Vision Zero.

In the latest Hearing the Council podcast interview, Ward Six Councilmember Charles Allen discusses his landmark STEER (Strengthening Traffic Enforcement, Education, and Responsibility) Act, which was recently passed by the Council with key elements having become effective on October 1. The bill is the latest demonstration of the Council's ongoing vigilance and an essential effort to reverse troubling trends in the District's struggling Vision Zero transportation safety efforts. We examine the various elements of the bill, including efforts to target the worst ticket scofflaws in the name of safety. We also discuss the Councilmember's work to shine a light on a new practice of apartment management companies: charging an additional fee to tenants for utilities and other costs in building common areas. Plus, his desert island TV show favorites.

Just a few days before the school year started, 9-year-old Courtney Carter was killed by a car while riding her bike along Rosedale Street in Homewood. Neighbors had long raised concerns about the stretch where she was hit, asking for traffic calming measures like speed bumps and stop signs. We're revisiting a conversation from earlier this year — after another cyclist was struck and killed — about what's going on and what still needs to happen to keep cyclists and pedestrians of all ages safe on Pittsburgh roads. **This conversation originally published May 13, 2024. Learn more about the city's commitment to Vision Zero and traffic calming, including which projects are coming next. There's also a petition for Homewood residents asking city officials to invest in better safety measures for the neighborhood.  ​​Are you a bike person?

San Diego is approaching its self-imposed deadline for ending all traffic deaths — a movement called 'Vision Zero.' But those touched by tragedy say when it comes to traffic safety, the city is asleep at the wheel. Then, a poll has found that the majority of officeholders in San Diego, Riverside and Imperial counties have experienced threats. Plus, Oceanside joins San Diego in banning Styrofoam.

The unoriginal idea comes from Hogsett's office where they want to focus on public transportation as opposed to any other Indy public concern. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the second hour of "Connections with Evan Dawson" on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, we discuss “Roc Vision Zero,” the City of Rochester's plan to eliminate traffic fatalities.

In the U.S., over 40,000 people die in traffic-related incidents every year. How can we fix this? Vision Zero may be the answer! From traffic calming to road diets, education, and policy decisions, we discuss it all on this episode!

Kansas City's Vision Zero program aims to completely eliminate traffic deaths by 2030. Except last year, fatalities went up, and in 2024 they're increasing even more. Leaders say the effort comes down to greater education, political will and cash.

Get up and get informed! Here's all the local news you need to start your day: Brooklyn Pastor Lamor Whitehead is headed to jail after a judge revoked his bail on Monday for proclaiming his innocence on a podcast. In other news, street safety advocates say five people were killed by cars in Queens over the weekend, making 2024 one of the deadliest years for the borough since the Vision Zero initiative began. Plus, flags will fly at New York state buildings in honor of retired New York State Police member Benedicto Albizu Jr., who died earlier this month from an illness related to his assignment at the World Trade Center site following the 9/11 attacks.

Earlier this year, city officials committed to a plan called Vision Zero, a promise to completely eliminate traffic deaths. Just a few weeks later, a cyclist died after being hit downtown. So what will it take to make Pittsburgh safer for people on our roads? City Cast Pittsburgh's Megan Harris & Mallory Falk are pulling from a bunch of past episodes — and their own experiences — to explain why it's so hard to catalog a road injury, how using 311 could help, and what city planners hope to do about new and known problems all over town.
