<H1 class="style31 style33" align=center><FONT size=6>Making Streets Safe
for Pedestrians</FONT></H1>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Neglect for pedestrian safety in
the design and use of American streets has resulted in an estimated 47,700
pedestrian deaths in the U.S. during the decade from 2000 to 2009,
according to a study by Transportation for America, a national coalition
working on transportation reform.</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>In the same decade, more than
688,000 pedestrians were injured, equivalent to a pedestrian being struck
every seven minutes, according to the study,<EM> “Dangerous by Design
2011.” </EM></FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>While a number of Florida
communities were ranked highest based on the coalition's Pedestrian Danger
Index,<STRONG><EM> the Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario</EM></STRONG>
region ranked 5th in the nation in the study.</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Despite the national data, little
attention or public resources have been committed to reduce pedestrian
death and injuries in the U.S., according to the coalition.</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2><STRONG>Ryan Wiggins,</STRONG>
Southern California Organizer for Transportation for America, will talk
about the report’s findings and methodology, examine why Inland southern
California rates so poorly, and focus on what makes streets unsafe at the
Thursday, June 16 Randall Lewis Seminar Series. The seminar will begin at
5:30 p.m. in Conference Room C, UCR Extension Building, 1200 University
Ave., Riverside.</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Mr. Wiggins also will discuss what
the federal policy is now in relation to pedestrian and bicycle
investments, what is being done to improve the safety of our streets, and
how those interested can help.</FONT></P>
<P class=style35 align=center><FONT size=2>About the Speaker</FONT></P>
<P class=style9 align=left><FONT size=2>Ryan Wiggins is the Southern

invest in a multi-modal 21st century transportation system that promotes
economic development, improves public health and reduces oil
dependency.</FONT></P>

degrees in International Environmental Policy and Natural Resources and
