The document discusses improving pedestrian safety and public transportation accessibility for vulnerable populations. It proposes focusing on injury prevention rather than just crash reduction. A key part of the strategy is limiting motor vehicle speeds in areas where vulnerable road users are present to 30 km/h or less. This is based on a risk model that shows higher likelihood and severity of pedestrian injuries at speeds above 30 km/h. The document also outlines a road safety rating system and fatality prediction model to help evaluate infrastructure projects and prioritize safety.
