Here's our roundup of this week's must-read posts.
This week we take a hard look at Vision Zero, as contributor Nick Sementelli writes that to eliminate traffic deaths in DC the goal must be to get people to drive less.
Meanwhile, a new study reveals that car ownership doesn’t reduce racial disparities in commute times.
And contributor Wyatt Gordon writes about the lack of clear regulation for autonomous vehicles in Virginia, and about a zero-fare transit pilot program in Richmond that may be in jeopardy.

OPINION: The regulation of autonomous vehicles in the US is largely left to the states, resulting in a patchwork of conflicting and confusing policies where some sort of national approach ought to exist.

The Department of Rail and Public Transportation grant requires matching funds in order to maintain the program: roughly $1 million in the first year of the pilot, $3 million in the second, and $5 million in the final year before the region is on its own to keep Richmond’s fare-free transit going.
