A plan to end pedestrian deaths worked in Europe – why has it failed here? Rachel Weiner, local transportation reporter for The Washington Post, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why foot traffic on American streets is dangerous and why – despite an effort to curb that called Vision Zero – it's gotten worse. Her article is “America's plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman's death reveals why.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Coalition for the Homeless Executive Director Dave Giffen joins the pod to discuss the Mamdani administration's efforts to bring unhoused people in from the vicious cold. Giffen talks about why he's seen the same problems repeat again and again under seven different mayors, and what it would take to actually change that dynamic and help put his group out of business.

Local power shapes daily life—from classrooms and bus routes to rent, taxes, and second chances in the courtroom. At the Western Wake Dems forum, we listened closely as five Wake County Commissioner candidates and a District Attorney contender laid out what's at stake on the primary ballot and how their choices would ripple across every neighborhood. This episode isn't about sound bites; it's about taking the time to hear how each candidate thinks, prioritizes, and would lead if elected—on schools facing voucher expansion and federal cuts, housing stability as a prerequisite for student success, and public health systems stretched by SNAP reductions and mental health gaps.The conversation sharpens around transportation and land use—building housing near existing infrastructure, protecting tree canopy, and accelerating the Wake County Transit Plan—along with safe routes to school, Vision Zero coordination, and property tax relief for seniors. In the District Attorney segment, trust and accountability take center stage, with a clear focus on prosecutorial experience—why it matters in a role that carries immense discretion, and the reality that not all candidates bring it to the table. Commitments to equal justice, constitutional policing, and reducing jail crowding by diverting nonviolent cases into services that address root causes underscore the contrasts. Two votes for County Commissioner. One vote for District Attorney. Clear differences, practical ideas, and real urgency—meant to help you listen carefully, compare leadership styles, and feel informed before you cast your ballot.2026 Voters' Guide for Southern Wake County-pgs. 23 & 35-Candidate WebsitesVoter Information (Register, Am I Registered?, Election Information) Voter Info (Designated Polling Places, Sample Ballots, Registration Status, Voting Jurisdiction, Verify Address and Party Affiliation) Election Information (Absentee by Mail Voting, Early Voting, Election Day Voting) Closest Early Voting Locations February 12-28WE Hunt Recreation Center-Holly SpringsHilltop Needmore Town Park Clubhouse-Fuquay VarinaELECTION DAY Tuesday, March 3 from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PMSupport the showAs always, if you are interested in being on or sponsoring the podcast or if you have any particular issues, thoughts, or questions you'd like explored on the podcast, please email NCDeepDive@gmail.com.

Die EU will die Zahl der Verkehrstoten bis 2030 um 40 Prozent senken. So steht es in einer internationalen Vereinbarung namens "Vision Zero", die auch Deutschland unterschrieben hat, und die auch Thema bei einer Verkehrssicherheitskonferenz in Pforzheim ist. "Wir als Land Baden-Württemberg haben uns auf die Fahnen geschrieben, dass wir konkrete Maßnahmen einleiten wollen, damit die Zahl der Verkehrstoten und der Schwerverletzten deutlich reduziert wird", sagt Baden-Württembergs Verkehrsminister Winfried Hermann (Grüne) im Gespräch mit SWR Aktuell-Moderatorin Marie Gediehn.

The U.S. seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, in an escalation in tensions between Caracas and Washington. Bloomberg’s Eric Martin explains how the move further ramps up pressure on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. Indiana is the latest state in the spotlight over redistricting, as lawmakers there prepare to vote on a new congressional map requested by President Trump. Indianapolis Star reporter Kayla Dwyer joins to discuss why the measure is dividing Republicans in the state. A nationwide initiative called Vision Zero was supposed to stop pedestrian traffic deaths. Rachel Weiner of the Washington Post details why it didn’t work.

Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

 A recent report by the Portland City Administrator shows traffic deaths in the city have continued to fall after a spike during the COVID-19 pandemic. Are Portlanders driving differently now than they were when the streets were emptier? Are earlier state and federal investments in traffic safety now just taking shape? Nonprofit leaders and city officials agree there are multiple factors involved in the decline. But as pandemic recovery continues, and the future of Gov. Tina Kotek’s road funding bill remains unclear, it’s an open question whether the city will be able to keep the trendline down.  We’re joined by Dana Dickman, the Vision Zero policy manager for the City of Portland, to unpack the latest data and discuss how the city is working to make roads safer. Also joining us are Sarah Iannarone, executive director of The Street Trust, and Zachary Lauritzen, executive director of Oregon Walks.

It's been a decade since Austin pledged to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries — but even after spending $125 million, the number of people dying in crashes hasn't really changed.

Joel Meyer, Austin's Transportation Safety Officer, says there have been significant improvements, particularly on roadways deemed the most dangerous in town.  Get more from City Cast Austin when you become a City Cast Austin Neighbor.

This year Edmonton has had the deadliest year on record since introducing Vision Zero, a plan to prevent deaths from traffic-related serious injuries and fatalities. At the same time, things are changing provincially and locally that affect how we manage our streets. This week we look at why Edmonton's roads feel more dangerous than before.

Dean Stuart Shapiro talks to alumnus Barkha Patel, MCRP '15 this week on EJB Talks. Initially a sociology undergraduate at Rutgers, Barkha discusses how a chance visit by Dean Shapiro to one of her classes led her to urban planning, as she realized she could tackle social problems through the built environment. She explains how starting as a transportation planner, even though it wasn't her focus at the Bloustein School, pushed her into tactical urbanism and set the stage for her current role. As Jersey City's Director of Infrastructure, she leads a multidisciplinary team shaping everything from streets to parks to sustainability systems. She highlights Jersey City's Vision Zero work, the effort to shift outdated traffic-safety mindsets, and her favorite project: transforming the historically significant but neglected Bergen Square area into a people-first plaza integrating mobility, culture, ecology, and design. She reflects on how the planning school fundamentals and communication skills she learned still form the basis for her work, and concludes with encouraging emerging planners to adopt an action-oriented mindset by becoming a person who figures things out and gets things done, even when they feel out of their depth.

The B.C. government is considering changes to the province's graduated driver's licensing program next year to eliminate the second road test to get a full Class 5 licence. That means new drivers would not need to take a second road test to get rid of their 'N' decal. B.C. Conservative and Richmond Centre MLA Hon Chan, the opposition critic for ICBC, says eliminating the second test would make roads less safe. He joins the show alongside Vision Zero volunteer Mihai Cirstea.

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.

In Episode 64 of the Princeton Podcast, Mayor Mark Freda is joined by Princeton Councilman David Cohen for an in-depth discussion about the municipality's newly launched Vision Zero Initiative - an ambitious plan aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries in Princeton. Councilman Cohen outlines the core components of Vision Zero, including safer roadway design, public education, enforcement, and post-crash care, all centered around a safe systems approach to improve safety for all who use Princeton's streets.The conversation highlights several ways residents can get involved, such as using the See-Click-Fix app to report unsafe conditions and taking the Vision Zero safety pledge. Councilman Cohen also explains how new design features, including curb bump-outs, raised crosswalks, and advisory bike lanes, are helping to create safer and more accessible streets. From environmental benefits to improved health and mobility for residents of all ages, this episode sheds light on how Princeton is taking proactive steps to promote active transportation and build a more walkable and bike-friendly community.

Jill Locantore, Executive Director of the Denver Streets Partnership (DSP), joined co-hosts Divya Gandhi and Em Hall at the 2025 National Planning Conference in Denver to discuss how Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) can be a key tool for achieving Denver's Vision Zero goals. This Critical Conversation in Transportation Planning dives deep into the political, cultural, and social challenges inherent to transforming corridors from car-centric to bike and pedestrian-friendly. From traffic calming and street design to Denver's bold efforts to prioritize buses and pedestrian safety, Jill unpacks how a truly safe city starts with valuing people over cars. Under Jill's leadership, DSP has helped to advocate for and implement policies that promote a transit-centered approach to improving traffic safety. The organization has been instrumental in convening multiple community stakeholders with a common goal of transforming Colfax Avenue, the “longest, wickedest street in America,” into a major arterial that supports the city's ambitious Vision Zero goals of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2030.

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.
