Traffic fatalities surged in 2022. In Hawai‘i, 117 people died in car-related crashes last year. Nationally, the number jumped to 42,795. An alarming number of these deaths involve pedestrians—29 in Hawai‘i and 7,508 nationally, a four-decade high.
Clearly our streets are too dangerous, but what can we do about it? What can we do to reduce distracted, dangerous driving and to design roadways that are safer and more sustainable for everyone?
“The Street Project,” directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Boyd, examines the growing global movement to improve roadway safety, especially for pedestrians and cyclists. The screening will be followed by a community conversation featuring government officials, non-profit advocates, and—we hope—you.
The screening will be followed by a community conversation on making Hawai’i’s roads safer, more sustainable, and more efficient for everyone.
