    @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com Recognize that sustainable transport systems - including safe walking & cycling, high-quality public road transport, safe vehicles, safe, resilient infrastructure, and appropriate speed management - are central to improving road safety while also contributing to public health, equity, social inclusion, economic development, resilient supply chains, climate action & environmental sustainability, and that preventable deaths and serious injuries are not an acceptable cost of mobility

    @jfmezei@cosocial.ca @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com Looking through the resolution, two things come to mind: 1. It is very abstract and handwavey, nothing specific or actionable. Maybe it's meant to be a stepping stone towards something actually real? 2. As a result of previous point, there is nothing a sane person could object to. It's basically "make everything safer". USA truly is being an asshole here.
