| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe #SaludTues - We're here too - can't wait for today's chat. |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica Will everyone joining #SaludTues please take a second to introduce yourself. We curate content about the latest research and policy solutions to improve Latino health equity. This includes social and environmental issues like safe transportation options. |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @iBikeSafe So glad you are joining in today! #SaludTues |
 | America Walks @americawalks Hi Everyone! Can't wait to be talking about one of our favorite subjects- people first design! #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @SafeRoutesNow Looking forward to your Tweets! #SaludTues |
 | Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking We're excited to participate in this week's #SaludTues because we believe community well-being is one of the most important outcomes of #publicspace. Tune in! |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @Paula_CFlores So glad you cohosting for this important topic! #SaludTues |

| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @PPS_Placemaking So glad you cohosting for this important topic! #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe #SaludTues We're BikeSafe - a 501(c)(3) non-profit within the University of Miami. It started out as a youth safety curriculum, but it is evolving into a mobility advocacy non-profit for all ages as bicycle access and safety has no age boundaries. |
 | National Complete Streets Coalition @completestreets Excited to participate in the #SaludTues tweetchat! Look forward to the helpful insights. |
| America Walks @americawalks America Walks is a national non-profit working with advocates and communities to create places where people can walk and move for transportation, recreation, health, and more! #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @completestreets Glad you are joining in today! #SaludTues |
| Safe Routes Partnership @SafeRoutesNow We work to advance safe walking and rolling to and from schools and in everyday life, and are excited to learn and share resources today. https://t.co/RlZ99p3jZH #SaludTues |
| America Walks @americawalks @SaludAmerica Wouldn't miss it! #SaludTues https://t.co/uhE5hMMlhZ |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica Q1 Are streets in America really that dangerous? #SaludTues https://t.co/fTqctVpjlT |
| America Walks @americawalks A1: Yes. But not all streets, and not all to the same degree or in the same way. #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica A1 The U.S. leads the developed world on traffic deaths. #SaludTues https://t.co/vumLBzxyQn |
| National Complete Streets Coalition @completestreets A1. YES! For the past decade, pedestrian fatalities have increased 35x as fast as the share of people traveling on foot. https://t.co/DRFTCbeV60 |
 | The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project @SaludAmerica Happy to join this #SaludTues! We are a movement intermediary that supports organizing and change by people of color at local, regional, Tribal and national levels. We believe Social Justice is Health Justice! |

| LeonardoBrawlMárquez @Brawlix https://t.co/J5A3JnPIrk |
 | Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth A1 Streets in America really are that dangerous. Texas hasn’t gone a single day with a traffic death in nearly 20 years. That’s over 7000 days where roughly 10 people are killed on Texas streets every day. #SaludTues |
| LeonardoBrawlMárquez @Brawlix https://t.co/aFp2xbbGmL |
| America Walks @americawalks A1: As @completestreets Dangerous by Design shows, we have streets that are disproportionately dangerous for people of color, older adults, and other vulnerable populations #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe #SaludTues A1: Yes. Our roads are not safe for people on foot, on bikes, or even in a car. Our entire road system is an engineers' dream run wild - a dream that long ago forgot about the limits of human cognitive abilities. |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @americawalks True, which is why traffic deaths are NOT random. #SaludTues |
| Safe Routes Partnership @SafeRoutesNow A1. Many streets are really that dangerous - particularly in low-income and communities of color. #SaludTues https://t.co/wYVZSHORxS |
| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A1 @SmartGrowthUSA reported that btwn 2008 & 2017, there were 49,340 pedestrian fatalities in the US. About 13 people per day, or one person every hour and 46 minutes. Read their full report: https://t.co/NU6XksA7MR |
| America Walks @americawalks A1: We have streets that are poorly maintained, not designed properly for context with inappropriate speed limits. These "successful" streets are measuring success by the number of cars moved, and how fast #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe RT @americawalks: A1: A1: Yes. But not all streets, and not all to the same degree or in the same way. #SaludTues |
| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A1 But street safety is disproportionately affecting poor communities of color. As reported by @SmartGrowthUSA, the poorer an area is the more dangerous are roads for pedestrians. #SaludTues https://t.co/rZLupWlN6G |
| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A1 Over all, people of color and elderly are disproportionately represented in pedestrian fatalities. #SaludTues @SmartGrowthUSA https://t.co/ipzocBDZ4E |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe RT @SafeRoutesNow: A1. Many streets are really that dangerous - particularly in low-income and communities of color. #SaludTues https://t.co/wYVZSHORxS |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking A1.1: Yes. Our streets are made for cars and traffic, even though the data in @SmartGrowthUSA’s Dangerous by Design reports continuously shows how dangerous they are for people, the economy, health, etc. From 2008-17, drivers struck & killed >13 people per day. #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica A1 Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for Americans aged 1-54. 😧 #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking @SmartGrowthUSA A1.2: Too many people, particularly seniors and children, are injured and killed on our streets every year. Creating safe infrastructure for those walking and biking is critical for reimagining our streets as #publicspaces in their own right. https://t.co/TGlEuBRZgV. #SaludTues |
| America Walks @americawalks A1: Read more about this issue and the latest numbers here #SaludTues https://t.co/2BhIE6ek4s |

| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @americawalks @completestreets Yes. Inequities in fatalities among low-income communities, communities of color, and older populations demonstrate that roads were NOT designed equal. #SaludTues |

| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @iBikeSafe "Our entire road system is an engineers' dream run wild." #SaludTues |
| America Walks @americawalks This is a public health crisis globally #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe A1: Other approaches (e.g., Germany, Sweeden) approach road design with safety *first.* In the US, we treat safety as a band-aid reaction to crashes. We'll build 20 dangerous intersections, get six deaths at the most highly traveled one, and then only fix that one. #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica Sad but true. #SaludTues |
| Safe Routes Partnership @SafeRoutesNow Pedestrian deaths have reached the highest level in decades. #SaludTues https://t.co/P9oUp7V2el #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica A1 More people walking were killed in 2017 than any year on record since 1990. #SaludTues https://t.co/A905WGDaU9 |
| America Walks @americawalks We know where people are dying. We can (and should) target those areas NOW #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth Notice how other countries made significant headway in reducing traffic deaths from 2000-2013. #SaludTues |

| America Walks @americawalks @SaludAmerica They are not accidents. #CrashNotAccident #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth For each fatality in Texas (roughly 10 per day) there are 5 serious injuries; 22 injuries; and 44 possibly injuries. That’s roughly 50 serious injuries, 220 injuries, and 440 possible injuries PER DAY! #SaludTues |

| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @SafeRoutesNow Pedestrian deaths increased by 35.4%, although walking as a share of all trips increased by less than 1% and vehicle miles traveled by 8.1%. #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe RT @americawalks: @SaludAmerica They are not accidents. #CrashNotAccident #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica Q2 Why shouldn’t we accept traffic fatalities and injuries as a cost we pay for having private vehicles? #SaludTues https://t.co/f2go8bRbeZ |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe RT @SaludAmerica: @iBikeSafe "Our entire road system is an engineers' dream run wild." #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking A2.1: Injuries and fatalities are preventable & no number is acceptable. We stand with @Visionzeronet, a proven strategy to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth This is far too high a price to pay for a system that leaves so many behind. #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking @Visionzeronet A2.2: Traffic fatalities and injuries discriminate based on age, ability and socioeconomic status. People in vulnerable populations & low-income neighborhoods face⬆️risk of crashes—and we must protect them all. It’s not just a matter of #publichealth, but of justice. #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking @Visionzeronet A2.3: We can take action by enacting lighter, quicker, cheaper #placemaking, which is relatively cheap and easy to do. In A Placemaker’s Primer on Road Diets, we explain how street spaces can be reallocated to serve a full community of users. https://t.co/2aLTRmmi9a. #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica A2 In 2019, there were ZERO pedestrian and cyclist deaths in Oslo, Norway! 🎉 Oslo’s population and size is similar to Las Vegas. 65 people walking were struck and killed by people driving in Las Vegas in 2017. #SaludTues https://t.co/DBwfSErQg4 |

| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A2 We could not also accept the fact that communities of color have greater risk of traffic fatalities. #SaludTues |
| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A2 1967 3 kids were killed xing the street in Oak CA. “City Council dragged its feet [when asked for a traffic light].

| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project “pedestrian fatality rate for Native Americans is nearly five times higher than for white Americans, and for African Americans the rate is nearly twice as high.” #SaludTues https://t.co/pC4E1hdhJV |
| America Walks @americawalks We agree! We go so far as to say walking is a human right and environments need to be built to support that #SaludTues |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica A2 In a European city that’s slightly smaller than El Paso, 1 person died in a traffic crash. The same year, 70 people died in traffic crashes in El Paso. American cities should NOT accept traffic fatalities. #SaludTues https://t.co/EnlPeZ51Ln |

| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth @americawalks A2 It is appalling to accept death as a cost of mobility. We don’t accept deaths in air, rail, or sea travel. We don’t accept deaths due to poor design/engineering of water or wastewater infrastructure. We shouldn’t accept traffic deaths! #SaludTues |

| Salud America! @SaludAmerica Q3 Is there any evidence suggesting why some streets are more dangerous than others? #SaludTues https://t.co/92uHzEdIOK |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking RT @americawalks: The cost we pay has so many ripple effects. Not just individual health, but cost to economies and our environment as well #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking A3.1: While design speed is indispensable, human presence and activity on the street is an under-appreciated factor in encouraging slower and more attentive driving. It's a virtuous cycle: slower driving enables social activity & activity on the street encourages slower driving. |
| Salud America! @SaludAmerica @SafeRoutesNow It's not an impossible goal. Roadways can be redesigned for safety and accessibility for multimodal travel. #SaludTues |
| America Walks @americawalks A3: YES!! The design. The speeds that are set. The way we position housing in relation to grocery stores, to schools, to parks, etc. #SaludTues |
| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project A2 Public safety for everyone, morally, should be non negotiable esp because they are preventable w/the right measures. Today same orgs like @LUPE_rgv continue by uplifting the right to safe streets in their winning campaign for street lights in Texas’s colonias #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking A3.2: As maverick transportation engineer Ben Hamilton-Baillie observed, social activity & attentive driving are a virtuous cycle. As traffic speeds ⬇️, social activity can ⬆️; as social activity ⬆️, it further ⬇️traffic speeds. https://t.co/TnGBVnqEY2 #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth A2 In Texas, the number of people walking killed by people driving increased 39.5% between 2008-17. This is unacceptable. #SaludTues #VisionZeroSA |
| America Walks @americawalks A3: We also have data on which streets are more dangerous than others. We just need the will and urgency to act. #SaludTues |

| National Complete Streets Coalition @completestreets A3. Vehicle speeds, especially >40mph dramatically affect rates of pedestrian fatalities. Lane widths are a primary determinant of vehicle speeds. Not only do wider lanes take longer to cross on foot, but cars and trucks travel faster on them. #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe A3: Yes. Engineers need to eliminate inherently dangerous designs that combine slow-moving vulnerable road users with fast-moving automobile traffic. #protectedbikelanes, no sidewalks spanning more than two lanes, median wait areas for pedestrians, and no slip lanes! #SaludTues |

| America Walks @americawalks RT @Praxis_Project: A8 In @americawalks’s latest webinar we learned from @JamesRojas about the importance of humanizing planning through art to collect community insight that is invaluable for informing people-first policies that would be affecting them #SaludTues https://t.co/EwHjrSlwz0 |
| Crystal Dandridge @cjdjam RT @completestreets: Traffic fatalities and injuries are not random. We KNOW some streets are more dangerous than others. The question is, what are we doing about it? #SaludTues on 2/18 at 1p ET https://t.co/yWIIPBhoYP |
| Crystal Dandridge @cjdjam RT @completestreets: Inequities in transportation contribute to disparities in chronic disease, injury, premature death, and numerous social and economic outcomes. #SaludTues on 2/18 at 1p ET https://t.co/yWIIPAZNAf |

| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth RT @SaludAmerica: A8 Invite elected officials to walk, bike or bus with you and a group in your neighborhood so they experience the barriers first-hand. This councilman took the bus for a month & is now a major advocate for #publictransit in #SanAntonio. @rey4sa #SaludTues https://t.co/tbWB7DLSMs |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth RT @completestreets: A8: A8: By changing the way we measure success in surface transportation. We need to trade LOS and congestion mitigation for equitable outcomes in accessibility and public health. #SaludTues |
| Crystal Dandridge @cjdjam RT @americawalks: A1: A1: As @completestreets Dangerous by Design shows, we have streets that are disproportionately dangerous for people of color, older adults, and other vulnerable populations #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth RT @SaludAmerica: A8 We need help with messaging and making numbers relatable. For example, we love this point from @MillarRoger, “to make WA’s highway traffic flow freely at 60 mph requires $115 BILLION, the equivalent of a $2.20-$2.50 per gallon state gas tax.” #SaludTues |

| The Praxis Project @Praxis_Project RT @CROWRDREAM: A6: A6: The community planning process has typically not included the people, families, & communities impacted by these practices & policies. It has left out disabled, elderly, and ethnic communities which should be at the table. #SaludTues #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth RT @PPS_Placemaking: A8.1: A8.1: It’s surprisingly simple. We measure people-first streets the same way we measure other #publicspaces. Streets perform best when they have many uses & activities, and are comfortable, reputable, well-connected & sociable. Read more: https://t.co/8EdPi1OaTg. #SaludTues https://t.co/S09uVz61WT |
 | J. Aaron Hipp @drhipp RT @GuerreraCasas: A5 people-centered streets increase social cohesion & resilience which are crucial in how cities combat #climatechange & other challenges #SaludTues #cocreate #cities @OpenStreetsCT @TUMInitiative |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth RT @SaludAmerica: A8 Spread the word about the antiquated measures currently used to determine transportation success. They are surprisingly counterproductive. #NotOnPoint #SaludTues https://t.co/NAto2wnRL7 |

| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth “Articulating the health and equity benefits of measuring VMT instead of LOS can help build support for making the transition.” #SaludTues |

| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe @CROWRDREAM Also expect some communities to reject safe streets without some sort of positive media beforehand to encourage a shift in thought. Some people have been looking at 20th century planning for so long that they don't understand reducing car trips #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth @SaludAmerica 75% of the roughly 619K households in Bexar County are paying more than 22% of their income on transportation. We need to shift to a people-first system. #SaludTues |
| UHealth BikeSafe @iBikeSafe @americawalks When you're dealing with engineers, NIMBYs, and systemic bias that prevents safe streets...yes, it's hard. #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth @iBikeSafe @Paula_CFlores Congestion pales in comparison to other transportation-related problems, like generational poverty & health disparities. Yet, a majority of transportation funding goes to congestion mitigation strategies, like road-widening projects, rather than people-first projects. #SaludTues |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth @iBikeSafe @Paula_CFlores We need more transportation practitioners to be honest about congestion. #SaludTues |
| Project for Public Spaces @PPS_Placemaking Big thanks to @SaludAmerica, @americawalks & @completestreets for joining us in a discussion on how to reimagine our streets as places. #SaludTues https://t.co/CnjqMVW9JV. |
| Amanda Merck, MPH @AMFitnessHealth @Paula_CFlores @MassDOT Identifying and tracking access to destinations critical to improve health and get out of poverty. Yet, vehicle speed is how we determine mobility. We don’t look at foregone trips or if people arrive alive. #SaludTues |
