DESCRIPTION:
This manual serves as a planning guide for communities wanting either to integrate a pedestrian
safety component into an existing traffic safety program or to develop and implement a new
pedestrian safety program. Necessary characteristics of such a program, including problem
assessment, planning, a concept of operation, a goal, target groups, resource assessment, and
program integration are discussed. Steps to developing an action plan, (including conducting
strategy work sessions, developing a draft plan), components of a program plan, preparing a
formal plan of action, and program evaluation are similarly detailed. A list of resources, NHTSA
regional offices, and pedestrian safety assessment forms are attached.
