This month, University of Maryland graduate student Lilly Shoup cowrote a report, entitled "Dangerous by Design," that ranks metropolitan areas based on the relative danger of walking.

The report has received national media attention, including articles in the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and USA Today. The report was also discussed on National Public Radio's Morning Edition.

Shoup is an Urban Studies & Planning graduate student who co-wrote the report as part of her work with Transportation for America.
