Summary
The 2020 Cycling Deaths project was launched in partnership with the Outside Magazine and the nonprofit BikeMaps.org. It is aimed to track every person on a bike killed by a driver in the U.S. over the course of the year.
GRS visualized cycling deaths that occurred in 47 states and nearly every major metropolitan area with the creation of an interactive map and data dashboard. It serves as a tool for readers to search, view, and explore where and how a fatal crash happened near them. The Outside Magazine reports a general overview as well as some surprising takeaways based on the analysis of map data. This dashboard got over 120,000 views within one week.
