43% of pedestrians killed in Massachusetts are 65 or older. That’s unacceptable.

Short crosswalk timers, wide intersections, and fast-turning cars make simple trips dangerous for older neighbors. Fixes like longer signal times, traffic calming, and raised crosswalks aren’t complicated—they save lives.

We need streets built for everyone, including our parents and grandparents.
