To help get essential workers around, cities are revising traffic patterns, suspending public transit fares, and making more room for bikes

As the coronavirus crisis forces changes in transportation, some cities are building bike lanes and protecting cycling shops. Here’s why tha

COVID-19 expedites conversations amid growing support for car-free streets.

PeopleForBikes is working to support the bicycle industry in this difficult time by asking governments to protect bicycling.

New York City, Mexico City, and Bogotá are rolling out “emergency” cycleways to boost bicycle use during the Coronavirus epidemic.

Social distancing measures are taking public transit and rideshare out of the equation for many commuters. More people are riding bikes now.

The City of Philadelphia closes major boulevard to motor vehicles and opens it up to bicycle and foot traffic only, during COVID-19.

San Francisco bike repair shops will be allowed to remain open, as many residents use their bicycle as their main mode of transportation.

The number of pedestrian fatalities in the US has grown sharply in recent years. However, some states have seen minor decreases.

More than 6,500 Pedestrians Killed on U.S. Roads Last Year, making up 17% of all traffic deaths.

After years of committed action, neither city recorded a single pedestrian fatality in 2019.

New Yorkers adopt a more hygienic, climate-friendly, people-powered form of transportation in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

After a ban on private cars took effect on a major San Francisco street, bike and e-scooter ridership is soaring and bus trips are quicker.

Paris attributes a 54% increase in bike riding to new infrastructure — much of it protected and separated from motor vehicle lanes.

Local safety activists point to the road systems, not the users, as the main causes of crashes and casualties.

The U.S. reduced road fatalities by 23% from 2000 to 2011, while the other 19 countries reduced rates by 26 to 64% over the same period.

Over the past 10 years, the number of pedestrian fatalities on U.S. roadways has increased by more than 50 percent.

Despite having the highest per capita road fatality rate of any OECD country, the US dissociated from a global declaration for safety.

The effective solutions for reducing traffic deaths are also essential tools for reducing emissions.

The US' "evolving transportation needs" requires a "transformative transportation bill that invests in a balanced system."
