Getting around in Connecticut can be dangerous. Especially for pedestrians. Last year 75 pedestrians were killed by vehicles in the state - the largest number in decades, according to the Department of Transportation.
In April 2022, we spoke with Amy Watkins. She”s the Pedestrian Safety Coordinator for Watch for ME CT. That’s a program spearheaded by the Connecticut Department of Transportationand Connecticut Children’s Injury Prevention Center. At that time there were concerns 2022 would be one of the deadliest years for pedestrians.
Those concerns we valid. So we invited Ms. Watkins back to The Full Story for an update.
