MPS recognizes October as National Pedestrian Safety Month. The National Center for Statistics and Analysis has collaborated with USDOT to provide some data on pedestrian safety in your cities.
“In 2022, there were 7,522 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes in the United States. That is 21 pedestrians a day and 145 pedestrians a week. This represents a 0.7% increase from the 7,470 pedestrian fatalities in 2021.”
