Dangerous by Design 2026: Congressional Rankings is an addendum to our signature report analyzing the epidemic of pedestrian fatalities across the country. This new analysis ranks all 435 House districts plus DC by their average annual pedestrian fatality rate between 2020 and 2024.
The rankings identify where pedestrian deaths are most concentrated across congressional districts and give members of Congress a clearer picture of the dangerous conditions facing people walking in their districts. We hope advocates will use these findings to hold their representatives accountable for prioritizing safety, and that members of Congress will use them to prioritize safety over speed by imposing consequences for continued poor performance on safety and rewarding those who deliver measurable results.
