A new study emphasizes the importance of piloting safe streets initiatives as a means to overcome public opposition and effectively shape community perceptions. Examining Eugene, Oregon's first shared scooter pilot, the researchers underscore that real-life demonstrations can convey the benefits of novel transportation solutions more effectively than conventional community engagement methods. As the Safe Streets and Roads for All program prepares to distribute significant funding for planning and demonstration grants, the insights gleaned from this study could significantly influence how cities approach future projects.
Piloting safe streets projects can help cities overcome public opposition or cease projects early, a study finds. Now is a crucial time for trial runs.
Researchers found that real-life visibility of safe streets initiatives can shape public opinion better than traditional engagement methods that lack hands-on experience.
