Methods by which to educate the public include appropriate information for every age group. Ways to provide a safe environment, to enforce laws, and to evaluate the program are also given. Finally, appendices include age-appropriate safety messages, a checklist for pedestrian safety, and sample publicity material. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers are given for government agencies involved in pedestrian safety.
