The article discusses the Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment (VRUSA), a legal requirement for U.S. state Departments of Transportation under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to document safety measures for pedestrians and cyclists. Michael Kelley from Bike Walk KC shares insights from a recent report analyzing six states' approaches to VRUSA. The report highlights the importance of these assessments in addressing traffic safety issues and calls for more meaningful strategies that can significantly reduce road violence and enhance the safety of vulnerable road users.
The VRUSA mandates states to outline their efforts in addressing traffic violence and safety for vulnerable road users, revealing gaps in their initiatives.
Understanding state DOT actions toward vulnerable road users is crucial; the report reveals a need for transparency in funding and safety measures.
