a It didnât change its name to the Institute of Transportation Engineers for another 10 years.
b The FHA didnât issue mortgages itself. Rather, the government would repay loans in full if the homeowner defaults. For lenders, itâs as risk-free as it gets.
c Recall that AASHO is the American Association of State Highway Officials. It later became the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
d Donât get me started on how we also distribute federal transportation dollars based on vehicle miles traveled. The more you drive, the more money your state gets. This approach doesnât give state departments of transportation much reason to disincentivize driving, nor is it a safety neutral funding policy.
e Thatâs how we end up with what Chuck Marohn and Strong Towns would call a stroad. A stroad isnât quite a street and isnât quite a road. By trying to accomplish both mobility and access, stroads do neither well (like how a futon is neither a good couch nor a good bed). Itâs probably not surprising that stroads form the basis of most high-injury networks.
f According to AASHTO, urban land use in the United States is defined as a contiguous area of census block groups with at least 1,000 residents per square mile and a minimum population of 5,000. Everything else is rural.
g I was hoping to end this chapter with a âYouâre killing me, Smalls,â but alas.
