This initiative will work to make the community streets safer, the people healthier, and our youth more prosperous.” “By working with MCTS and coming together with residents, we will bridge the gap and edify our community to combat this reckless driving. The community has been loud and clear that reckless driving is a continual source of fear, stress, and pain in their lives” said Transportation and Transit Committee Chair Priscilla E. “Public engagement and transparency are key to strengthening our Milwaukee County Transit System. Milwaukee County residents use transit, cars, and bicycles as transportation and this study will ensure that no matter how you travel, that you get to where you need to go safely.” “ This three-year study will result in a comprehensive countywide transportation safety plan,” said Supervisor Peter Burgelis. “It will survey residents of each of Milwaukee’s 19 municipalities to help address reckless driving and make our roads safer. I look forward to seeing the comprehensive safety plan in the future and commend the department on their hard work thus far.”
“ My thanks goes out to our Director of Transportation Donna Brown-Martin and her incredible staff. Making our streets safer is a top priority for residents in my district as well as across Milwaukee County,” said Supervisor Patti Logsdon. “This innovative approach will get real time data from residents that we can use to make policy decisions to address the problem.
