In the 2021 Dangerous by Design webinar, Smart Growth America’s Beth Osborne and report author Rayla Bellis explored the report’s finding and rankings, and offered solutions to make streets safer for people walking and biking.

• Latanya Byrd, who shared a personal, heartbreaking story of loss in our media briefing;
