In 2010, the small community of specialists who pay attention to US road safety statistics picked up on a troubling trend: more and more pedestrians and cyclists were being killed on American roads. In fact, pedestrian deaths have increased 51 percent since reaching their low point in 2009. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.

THE STREET PROJECT is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.

This program is a collaboration between the Mount Pleasant Public Library, Films on Purpose, and the Pedestrian Committee of Pleasantville.  Join us for a reception preceding the film, and a panel discussion and Q&A following the film.
