Thank you Dr. Jessica Cicchino of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety / Highway Loss Data Institute for presenting on evidence-based solutions for safe mobility at Bellevue City Hall this week. This Safe System Speaker Series event - hosted by the City of Bellevue, Washington and sponsored by AAA Washington (thank you Mellani McAleenan) - was one of three activities our community set in motion in the lead up to World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We are grateful for the collaborations we’ve set in motion with our regional and national traffic safety colleagues. When communities invest in policies, street design and technologies that prioritize safety over speed, we save lives and help our communities thrive. #VisionZero #WDoR2024 #TrafficViolenceIsPreventable For a video recording of the presentation: https://lnkd.in/gytwWrGu
