Climate Change, Child Health & Neighborhood Safety

All three of these issues can be made better by reducing traffic congestion. Here's how. Traffic is a primary source of climate-changing greenhouse gases (GHG) as well as other air pollutants that threaten child health. And congested traffic generates the most air pollution. Congestion also prompts drivers to use neighborhood streets as bypass routes. The neighborhood streets with the highest pedestrian-cyclist injury rates are those with excessive cut-thru traffic. Fortunately, measures that reduce congestion also reduce auto pollution and make our neighborhood streets safer. This survey will allow you to assess the degree to which your neighborhood benefits from these measures. It is our hope that you'll urge your neighbors to provide our elected officials with the public support needed to make greater uses of street safety/pollution reduction measures.
