No reputable outlet has published a net worth for Angie Schmitt, and the $2 million figure that used to appear on this page had no source. What is documented is how she earns a living. She is a Cleveland urban planner and writer, the founder of the consulting firm 3MPH Planning and Consulting, and the author of Right of Way, a 2020 book on the rise in U.S. pedestrian deaths.

What is Angie Schmitt's net worth?

We found no financial publication, filing or interview that puts a number on her wealth. She runs a small private firm, and firms like hers do not report revenue publicly. Her book sales and speaking fees are not public either. In a 2022 interview with Fresh Water Cleveland, she said her book "wasn't a best seller or anything". That is a useful reality check against inflated online estimates.

So the fair answer is that there is no reliable published estimate. Her income comes from the sources listed below.

Angie Schmitt's yearly earnings, monthly income and salary

Earlier versions of this page listed a yearly income of $150,000, a monthly income of $12,500 and a daily income of $400, credited to "an investigation". No such investigation exists that we could find, so the table has been removed. Her real income streams are these:

  • Consulting. 3MPH offers safety reviews and mobility studies to local and regional governments. It offers communications and media consulting to national, state and nonprofit clients, and policy research and expert testimony to agencies and personal-injury lawyers.
  • Book. Right of Way: Race, Class, and the Silent Epidemic of Pedestrian Deaths in America was published by Island Press in 2020. She signed the deal in spring 2019, according to her Streetsblog farewell post.
  • Speaking. Cities and planning groups book her for talks on pedestrian safety. Examples include a 2022 talk for the Newton Free Library in Massachusetts reported by the Boston Globe and a September 2024 public presentation hosted by the City and County of Honolulu.
  • Writing. She wrote for Streetsblog for nine years. She told Fresh Water Cleveland that she had been a long-time writer and national editor there.

Professional life

In her farewell post she said she was one of the first writers to argue that SUVs might be driving the rise in pedestrian and cycling deaths. She also said that having children moved her focus from cycling to walking. Through 3MPH she took part in a campaign urging the U.S. Department of Transportation to adopt a goal of zero traffic deaths by 2050. She told Fresh Water Cleveland it was gratifying when the department made that commitment in 2022.

The business: 3MPH Planning and Consulting

According to its About page, 3MPH was founded in 2019 and is a certified woman-owned business. It holds certifications in Ohio, Michigan, Cleveland and Columbus for landscape architecture services, technical consulting and urban and land-use planning. The firm is based in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood and works for clients across the country. In 2022 she described it as a small firm focused on pedestrian safety. Staff numbers and revenue are not published.

The book: Right of Way

The book looks at why U.S. pedestrian deaths rose so sharply. Her main arguments are that road design, bigger vehicles and racial and economic inequality all play a part. In a 2020 interview she said road design, including width, speed and missing crosswalks, is the biggest factor in safety. She also pointed out that Cleveland's most dangerous roads cluster in Black and brown neighborhoods. At the Newton talk in 2022 she said lower car ownership, linked to the wealth gap, means marginalized groups walk more on roads that get less investment.

Early life and education

She holds a master's degree from Cleveland State University. Her thesis, on neighborhood revitalization and school quality in Cleveland, is listed in the Levin College of Public Affairs theses archive. The old version of this page also named an undergraduate degree from Ohio State and described her childhood. We could not confirm either in a source we opened, so we removed them.

Family

In her 2019 Streetsblog post she wrote that she got married and had two children during her years there. In 2022, Fresh Water Cleveland said she had lived in Cleveland's Detroit Shoreway neighborhood for 13 years with her husband and two children. She commutes by bike and volunteers with Clevelanders for Public Transit. She has not named her husband publicly in the sources we reviewed, so neither do we. Two photos captioned as showing her husband and family have been removed because no source confirms who is in them.

Age and height

The old page described her as a 38-year-old fitness enthusiast who is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 65 kg. None of that came from a source. We could not verify her age, height or weight, so all three have been removed.

Why there is no net worth figure

For a self-employed planner and author, a net worth figure would depend on private business accounts, household assets and book royalties, none of which are public. Sites that print a round number for her are guessing. We would rather tell you what she actually does for a living.
