Despite Montgomery County's Vision Zero goal of having zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries by 2030, pedestrian deaths continue at a rapid pace. In one recent weekend, three pedestrians were killed by vehicles in Montgomery County within hours of each other. And inexcusably, we continue to have pedestrian injuries and deaths at the same intersections, even when community advocates have been asking for safety measures for years. This is also an equity issue, as victims are more likely to take the bus, and are disproportionately lower income and people of color. It's time for systemic change, and there are two bills in the General Assembly that are prepared to help address that.
