RE: [CTPP] US States Rankings for Means of Transportation to Work

I would be interested to see a comparison of the rate of pedestrian fatalities for states compared with walk-to-work share. (As a estimation of the relative safety/suitability of an area for this sort of endeavor.) I had heard somewhere that the rate of pedestrian fatalities was higher for Atlanta than for New York City, despite the fact that many more people walked in NYC. -----Original Message----- From: David Saladino [mailto:dsaladino@swrpc.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 8:51 AM To: ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net Subject: RE: [CTPP] US States Rankings for Means of Transportation to Work It is interesting to note that 4 of the top 5 walk-to-work states are northern (i.e. cold) states. While the bottom two are southern states. I would have thought it would be the other way around. Any thoughts about why this is? Income, sidewalk connectivity, climate??
