Traffic Safety in Philadelphia Today
A serious injury has a lasting effect on a family, a death has a lasting effect on a community. Traffic violence is felt unequally by under-served communities in Philadelphia, with fatal or serious injury crashes three times more likely to occur in areas of the city where most residents are on low incomes.
