July 1, 2019
Although today is International Joke Day, pedestrian safety is no laughing matter. In Iowa, 22 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2018.
According to the American Community Survey, there are 1.55 million workers over 16 in Iowa. Of this total, 0.5 percent reported bicycling to work and 3.5 percent say they walk to work. This translates to approximately 7,730 individual bicycle commuters (not trips) and 54,100 pedestrian commuters.
