Getting to Zero Deaths on Our Roadways: Is the IIJA up to the Challenge? - Online14th Annual Mineta National Transportation Policy Summit10:00a.m - 12:00p.m. (PT) | Link to register The United States faces a public health crisis on its roads. In 2021 alone, almost 43,000 people died in traffic crashes and millions more suffered serious injuries. Secretary Pete Buttigieg calls the situation a preventable crisis—one for which we must take responsibility by recognizing that human lives are not a price to pay for modernity. New funding available through the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) provides a significant opportunity to reduce crashes through infrastructure redesign. Join the Mineta Transportation Institute and a panel of national experts to discuss the role of infrastructure redesign in achieving a national goal of zero traffic fatalities. See here for more information and recordings from past events in the series. 2 PDH credits and 2 CM credits available to attendees. Add event to your calendar:
