ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The new year started off averaging nearly one traffic fatality a day for almost two weeks – slightly behind the pace during the same period in 2024, according to the Connecticut Crash Data Repository, but still concerning for traffic safety advocates.
This week (Jan. 20-27) is also National Passenger Safety Week, a campaign urging passengers to speak up against unsafe driving practices and to help prevent crashes and save lives.
As such, we spoke with Eric Jackson, Ph.D., executive director of the Connecticut Transportation Institute, to find out more about what’s happening on the state’s roads and how it’s impacting not just drivers and passengers but pedestrians as well.
