Increased Safety

  • 2008: > 5,000 pedestrian/bicyclist deaths and >120,000 injuries
  • Pedestrian crashes are twice as likely in places without sidewalks

  • Over 65: 21% of Americans

20.4% of Brevard Residents*

  • Under 15: 16% in Brevard County*
  • Many low income Americans do not

have access to automobiles 10.5% of residents live below the poverty line in Brevard County 4.5% of households own no automobiles **

Expand the Ability to Move Around

33%

Americans don’t drive

55%

Americans rather drive less
