2021 Winner: WalkBoston
Project: Improving Pedestrian Safety
From 2001 to 2014, more than 25,000 pedestrians were struck by vehicles in Massachusetts, resulting in unacceptably high numbers of preventable pedestrian injuries. To address this, the center is awarding a $25,000 grant to WalkBoston, the only statewide pedestrian advocacy organization in Massachusetts. The funds will be used to implement a training program for Boston’s Level 1 trauma centers, giving staff tools to pursue pedestrian safety improvements and laying the groundwork for national efforts.
