Safety is paramount to creating and improving walkable communities. At this Walkinar, designing for a human-scale, pedestrian-friendly development. Safety experts at the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) will share programs which improve safety for people walking, cycling, and rolling (known as vulnerable road users, or VRUs) across Maryland. MDOT is committed to improving safety for VRUs through data-driven assessments and Complete Streets projects and is working toward zero motor vehicle-related fatalities or serious injuries by 2030. As Maryland continues to grow its sustainable communities and transit-oriented development, this Walkinar will explore the formula for creating safe and successful livable communities.
