Given that the report indicates that the states most in need of improvement are the ones not using federal transportation funding for pedestrian safety (even though no state allocates more than 5%), I assume this is a causal relationship at least to some extent. Interesting and troubling report. 9 of the top 10 states are in the Southeast.

Would this be considered a pedestrian friendly structure?

FYI, for the cities, we're using the Census Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) numbers for population. Which includes Greene and Owen counties in addition to Monroe, as I'm sure you're aware. We used MSAs because it matches up against the data for % of walking commuters from the census data. You can find out more about the methodology and use of MSA's on the methodology Q&A. <a href="http://t4america.org/resources/dangerousbydesign/methodology/" rel="nofollow">http://t4america.org/resources/dangerousbydesign/methodology/</a> Joe.

I just wanted to point out that the population for Bloomington, IN is off the mark. If it's the county population you're using, it should be 120,563. If you're using just the City population it should be 69,291 (2000 U.S. Census). The table in Appendix C shows a population of 183,944. Thanks! This is a great report!
