Under Mayor Gainey, Pittsburgh has been doing that:</p><p>"The City of Pittsburgh achieved Gold Certification from What Works Cities, a Bloomberg Philanthropies and Results for America program that certifies cities for leading with best practices in using data and evidence to inform decisions." </p><p>Find the root cause, then address it.</p><p>"Worker Safety – The goal is zero harm for city workers. In just two years the worker harm rates have gone down by a staggering 59 percent in the pilot department (DPW) and 31 percent across the entire City workforce. This means roughly 100 fewer City workers are being hurt each year, respecting their humanity, leaving more people to perform vital city services, and saving pain and cost for all. Money is not the object, but driving safety also saved the City almost $10 million over two years in paid claims, resources that can be used to better meet resident needs."</p><p>The Vision Zero traffic safety project has a team that goes in promptly after every serious accident to find what to change about that part of the roadway, and the changes happen quickly.</p><p><a href="https://pittsburghquarterly.com/articles/seeking-a-safe-welcoming-and-thriving-region/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pittsburghquarterly.com/articl</span><span class="invisible">es/seeking-a-safe-welcoming-and-thriving-region/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pittsburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pittsburgh</span></a></p>
