It's widely known as far from perfect, but the American Community Survey includes the ONLY annual estimate we get about how much bicycling is happening in the United States The indefinite delay will mean even less timely information about how people get to work, including whether they bike

Some great examples of local actions to promote safer vehicles, implement vehicle safety features in municipal fleets, and shift trips to safer modes like cargo bikes from the @visionzeronet.bsky.social in this article: visionzeronetwork.org/a-missing-pi...

Delay to pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) rule is now moving forward through the White House www.politico.com/newsletters/... Pedestrian AEB deployment was mentioned as a lifesaving technology in the admin's National Roadway Safety Strategy last month
