Show Notes
Pedestrian deaths dropped significantly in the first half of 2025, marking the largest decline in fifteen years. However, the numbers are still higher than pre-pandemic levels. States are divided, with fatalities rising in twenty-four places and falling in twenty-three others. Heavy hitters like Alabama, California, Maryland, New Mexico, and New York drove over two-thirds of the overall reduction. Hawaii leads in population-adjusted rates with three point five deaths per one hundred thousand people. New Mexico nearly halved its count, while Hawaii saw a jump. State innovations are proving they can shift the tide, but theres still ground to cover to get back to safer days.
