In the late 1970s children younger than 15 represented 18% of all pedestrian fatality victims. By 2021 they represented just 2.4% of all pedestrian fatalities (NCSA, 2023c; Schneider, 2020). These decreases correspond with declining rates of walking by children as measured by national surveys of household travel (Buehler et al., 2020; Kontou et al., 2020). https://www.nhtsa.gov/book/countermeasures-that-work/pedestrian-safety https://www.nhtsa.gov/book/countermeasures-that-work/pedestr...
