Fatalities vs. Safety Spending in

The number of people killed on our nation’s roads has fallen dramatically in recent years, but the number of bicyclist and pedestrian deaths is on the rise. Even as the number of fatalities has increased, the attention to bicycle and pedestrian safety has not. Less than 0.5% of federal Highway Safety Funds are spent improving bicyclist and pedestrian safety.
