Buttigieg releases national plan to reduce road deaths

Seeking to improve what has been among the nation’s grimmest public policy challenges, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg released a plan Thursday with the goal of reducing, and eventually eliminating, tens of thousands of annual road deaths.

The Transportation Department strategy calls for following a “safe system” approach that emphasizes the inevitability of human mistakes and the need for planning to minimize their impacts on everyone who uses roads. The efforts come amid new safety spending in the infrastructure law President Biden signed in November.

Citing progress cutting food-poisoning deaths and workplace fatalities that would be “borderline unthinkable” today, Buttigieg said in an interview that “it might sound pie in the sky now, but … that change can happen within one human lifetime.”

I didn't read the article, (who does?), but I think the butt-man's 'plan' is to eliminate racist roads and for everyone to be double-masked while driving.

Just abuse the crap out Mayor Pete Buttplug. There is nothing serious about this low-IQ piece of shit. All he is worth is being a whipping boy and exposing the absurdity of all Democrats and their ability to solve simple problems.

Actually, there is no substance in the article. It reminds me of a can of pork and beans I opened that didn't have the beans ... only the tiny piece of pork.

Perhaps buttjuice will perform a trial in Pennsylvania first on the old Hershey Highway

DemonRATs are in charge so the bureaucrats are coming up with insanely expensive unworkable plans and getting that stooge, Buttplug, to front for them.

One thing is sure. DemonRATs ruin everything. Highway deaths will increase.

Ultimately, the Left wants everyone to use autonomous EVs. So if you want to go to the store, you'll just get a ride on Uber. Imagine you participated on 1/6. Now you are banned in Uber. You can't go anywhere (other than using your public transportation in the city you live in).

Or you took Uber to the beach last weekend? You've used up your carbon credits for the month. You are not permitted to leave town. Now you see where we are going with this?

Never EVER trust anyone who says “they” have a a a a “plan”. Egotistical BS.

Worse than “for the children “ which Jefferson warned us about.

Hey Butthead, if people drove larger and heavier cars, crashes would not be so deadly. I’d much rather be in a long Cadillac than a little Volkswagen if I’m in a head on crash.

Amazing the things that are being dug up to improve this nation. Where do these jerks come from? Who dreams up these problems and solutions? It’s not like there aren’t real problems out there.

For instance, Rep. Cory Bush’s car coming under fire!! That’s pretty serious - not a soul was in the car and the car was parked yet it gets headlines????? Now THAT is something that should be looked into!!! (s)
