Pittsburgh's Low-Cost Traffic Calming Is a Model for Every City
Strong Towns May 2025
"Community-driven. Block-by-block. Low cost. This is how Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) describes its Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. Rather than waiting on years of studies to prove what any resident can already confidently assert, the city is taking what it knows and applying it where it will work."

​Pittsburgh reduces fatal crashes, serious injuries for fourth year as city touts ‘calming’ traffic projects
Pittsburgh Union Progress June 2025
"Pittsburgh has concrete numbers to show its efforts to slow traffic and improve road safety are working.
The city released statistics last week that show total crashes, fatalities and serious injuries declined for the fourth year in a row. Overall crashes fell 17% to 1,534 in 2024 and have dropped by more than 700 since 2021 compared to an increase of 0.35% statewide from 2021-24."
​
Editorial: DOMI is a Pittsburgh success story, but there's more work to be done
Pittsburgh Post Gazette August 2024
"...the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure (DOMI) under Director Kim Lucas has been an undeniable bright spot. From the expansion of traffic-calming installations around the city to the adoption of the ambitious “Vision Zero” plan to reduce pedestrian injuries and deaths, DOMI has made subtle but significant investments in safety for Pittsburghers, especially those on foot or on two wheels."
