Three things you need to know:
1
1 million rural residents don't have access to a vehicle
Our new report, An Active Roadmap: Best Practices in Rural Mobility <https://default.salsalabs.org/T2481715d-a125-49bd-a986-1f94fe02d85e/d3a4567c-8e2f-457e-b09b-e2ad094c0151> , debunks
common myths about rural America. Chief among them is the misconception that living in a rural community requires residents to drive long distances to access essential services. The
report reveals that this thinking is a disservice to the diversity of people who call rural places home and offers case studies of rural communities that prove investing in opportunities
to walk, roll, and take public transportation can be a valuable tool to help rural communities thrive.

Deadly road design makes national television
Beth Osborne, SGA’s Vice President of Transportation and Thriving Communities, joined CBS Sunday Morning to explain why pedestrian fatalities continue to rise throughout the country.
She took them to a dangerous roadway in Maryland to illustrate how design impacts driver speed and behavior, leading to deadlier crashes.

New report shows zoning reform can advance racial equity
SGA partnered with the Urban Land Institute on a new report, Reshaping the City: Zoning for a More Equitable, Resilient, and Sustainable Future <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tafe82116-20a9-451e-beb3
-22b79107ce5b/d3a4567c-8e2f-457e-b09b-e2ad094c0151> . The report examines zoning innovations from across the United States that promote healthy mobility, support increased housing affordability,
build more resilient places, and accelerate climate action—and it helps demonstrate the power of form-based codes.
