On August 25, the new documentary was distributed through PBS International and according to their promotion will “highlight the global, citizen-led fight to make our streets safer. Created by the multiple Emmy-winning team at Boyd Productions, The Street Project takes viewers across the globe in an uplifting narrative, from cycling-friendly meccas in Europe, to New York City and Phoenix, Arizona – one of the most dangerous cities in America for pedestrians – for a deep dive into how America views our streets and how they can be made safer.”

In the USA, the documentary is available for streaming on Amazon, Apple, and other platforms.
