"Since the start of the pandemic, fewer people are walking to get around. The 100 most populated metro areas in the U.S. saw a decline in #walking of at least 20% between 2019 and 2022, according to a recent report. But even with this decline, #pedestrian deaths have skyrocketed to the highest they’ve been in over 40 years."

Reasons include working from home, getting packages and food delivered, and fear of getting hit and killed.
