Roughly one pedestrian is killed every 10 days in America due to the dangerous blind spots built into today’s buses that obstruct drivers’ view of intersections. The Amalgamated Transit Union will premier Vision Zero – a webinar on hazardous bus design and pedestrian crosswalk accidents – which will be live-streamed for first time on Wednesday,
March 9, at 7 pm ET.
The webinar is open to the public. Those wishing to participate should go to https://atu.webex.com/mw3000/mywebex, fill in event number 665 107 378, click on the “Register” link and complete the registration form.
A dramatic video included in the webinar will reveal the hidden danger that wide “A” pillars (which connect the windshield to the driver’s side window) and poorly placed side mirrors pose to the public.
