We have a problem in America. That problem is pedestrians getting hit and killed by cars. It's an issue that government officials and transportation professionals alike spend a good deal of time and money trying to solve.
And while this affects every community in the country, it disproportionately affects Black and brown communities. It's just one way that Black Americans have had their mobility arrested.

Today, we're exploring why these preventable injuries and deaths happen and what can be done about it.
