Vision Zero in NYC and Chicago

In a co-broadcast with WBEZ's Tony Sarabia, Polly Trottenberg, commissioner of the New York Department of Transportation, and Rebekah Scheinfeld, Chicago Department of Transportation commissioner, talk about Vision Zero in their respective cities, including what each city can learn from the other, and pedestrians, cyclists and drivers call in to talk about street safety.

Should NYC require licenses for bikes to make roads safer? @NYC_DOT Commish Trottenberg doesn't think so: "If you look at the statistics you are far more likely to be injured or killed by a car."

"In Chicago we have parts of our city that are much less dense and would benefit from the assist" that e-bikes provide, says @ChicagoDOT Commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld. https://t.co/JE6GnVgu5p
