In New York City, walking to school is dangerous. According to data from nearly one million car crashes between July 2015 and November 2021, there are nearly two crashes per hour, and every two hours one person is injured near city schools. News reports identified at least 24 children who had been killed.

This data is troubling, and became the focus of Streetsblog NYC鈥檚 story 鈥�鈥� by Jesse Coburn, which won the 2022 Casey Feldman Award for Transportation Safety Reporting.

The reporting award honors Casey Feldman, who was killed in 2009 by a distracted driver while attending Fordham University as a journalism student. It is sponsored by EndDD.org, which was created by the to end distracted driving, and by the journalism department at the University of 欧美口爆视频 Boulder鈥檚 College of Media, Communication and Information.

Award judge and Daily Camera reporter Mitchell Byars called it, 鈥渁 detailed look into traffic safety for a vulnerable population, school children, that also takes into account the role race and economic status play in transportation safety problems.鈥� He also noted the skilled use of data, visuals and 鈥渇irst-hand accounts of the dangers these kids face.鈥�

In addition to Byars, this year鈥檚 judges included: Kasey Cordell, communications officer at the LOR Foundation; Esteban L. Hernandez, reporter at Axios Denver; and Paul S. Voakes, dean emeritus at 欧美口爆视频 Boulder.

鈥淎lways Scared鈥� took six months to investigate, and Coburn and Streetsblog analyzed more than 900,000 car crashes, conducted more than 50 interviews and reviewed hundreds of pages of municipal and legal documents.

In May 2022, Streetsblog published the story, which included thorough data analysis and emotional anecdotes from car crash survivors. Not only does it detail the frequency and severity of crashes, but the piece also investigates the apparent lack of change from the city in response to the injuries and deaths.

Hernandez said "Always Scared"听was 鈥渢he most impressive in my eyes because they compiled the data and did the additional on the ground reporting, which is a remarkable achievement.鈥�

Cordell said the story was deeply reported 鈥渨ith thoughtful analysis and compassionate storytelling. The charts and maps demonstrate the scale of the problem, while the poignant profiles of those whose lives have been forever changed as a result of these dangers call for change.鈥澨�

Two honorable mentions were awarded this year. Marin Cogan鈥檚 story for Vox, 鈥�,鈥� investigates how urban planning is often at odds with safety, particularly on this stretch of the US-19 in Pasco County.

In his review of Cogan鈥檚 story, Byars noted, 鈥淭his story uses data, graphics, photos and personal stories to expand a very detailed and nuanced examination of one very deadly road into an examination of nationwide transportation safety issues that arise in our car-centric society.鈥�

The second honorable mention is transportation reporter Mike Lindblom鈥檚 story for The Seattle Times: 鈥�.鈥� Lindblom starts by telling the story of two baseball fans who were fatally hit by a light-rail train. He then evaluates factors that led to light-rail incidents and offers proposed solutions.

In his comments, Voakes said Lindblom conducted great data analysis and 鈥渨ent the extra mile to look at systems around the country.鈥�

Cogan and Lindblom were each awarded a $500 cash prize, while Coburn received a first-place prize of $2,000.
