Pedestrians and non-motorists make up 55% of the people killed in traffic crashes in Philly. I introduced the Pedestrian Protection Act to establish federal safety standards for vehicles that would reduce traffic-related fatalities among pedestrians & bicyclists, and better protect our communities.

Fewer motorists are dying in Philadelphia traffic crashes, but peril remains for pedestrians and cyclists
