Already asked your rep to support complete streets? Tell some friends to join you

Maybe some people just need a little visual aid to help grasp the devastating toll that our roads have on those who walk them everyday.
400 people are killed in America every single month, just crossing the street, walking from A to B, or riding their bike through town. That’s like two busloads of Americans being killed… every single week.
The worst part is that many of these deaths are preventable. We need to start building roads in a way that works for everyone who uses them – motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and those with limited mobility. A lot of you have already sent messages to Congress telling them that the time is now to support safer streets for all Americans.
