California's Sustainable Communities and Climate Protection Act of 2008 (SB 375) included two provisions intended to help streamlineTOD. These provisions have mostly been a bust. Clear lesson for policymakers: Reduce the eligibility requirements for environmental review streamlining provisions. 2/2

Affluent pedestrians walk primarily for leisure and recreation, meaning they can opt out of environments they feel unsafe in. Lower-income households, by contrast, walk principally for utilitarian reasons, making them less able to avoid unsafe environments.
#RoadSafety #TravelPurpose (3/3)
Lower-income pops are 3 times as likely to be injured or killed while walking vs affluent households. But it's not due to increased exposure, but to the social vulnerabilities associated with the utilitarian nature of walking trips taken by lower-income households.
