Tonight is Halloween.

Please be especially alert & take extra time to look for kids at intersections, medians & on curbs.

Remember children move in unpredictable ways.

Reduce distractions inside your car & concentrate on the road and your surroundings.

Ronda, the roundabout shaped, purple Build The Era mascot, is holding a sign which reads “Pedestrian crossings are shorter, across only one direction of traffic, & automatically create refuge with splitter islands which provides easier crossings for those with mobility restrictions.”

Want Safer Streets? Cover Them in Art

With traffic deaths rising in the US, some cities are turning crosswalks and intersections into eye-catching murals — with life-saving results.

More great examples and studies here:

During a powerful and moving session about what Georgia DOT is doing to reach #VisionZero they challenged the conference participants to do more, especially in the education space, to save lives. It's a challenge we at Build The Era welcome, and must meet.

Trump abruptly let the backbone of American weather data shut down yesterday.

There are consequences for farmers, industries, water managers, state climatologists, and even schools. Deep dive for @notusreports.bsky.social 👇
The Trump Administration Let Weather Monitoring Centers Shut Down. The Impact Is Huge.
Regional Climate Centers are central to how American farmers grow their crops, qualify for drought aid, how schools monitor weather safety and much more. Their funding has lapsed.

Yes. I have tried to argue over and over that Trump/Vance's large scale destruction of clean energy manufacturing jobs (the manufacturing jobs of the future!) should be relevant to discussions of their stated goal of reinvigorating US manufacturing. No one listens
