Pedestrian Safety Roadshow
Local Sponsor's Guide
I.
Introduction
Thank you for taking the most important step in making your community a safer, more
pedestrian-friendly place to live and work! By hosting the Pedestrian Safety Road Show,
you are starting a process that should change forever the way your community deals with
the most fundamental form of transportation -- walking.
This Guide is designed to make your job as a local sponsor as easy as possible. It
provides an overview of the Pedestrian Safety Road Show and lays out what needs
to be done to make it a successful event for your community. If you have organized
community groups before, many of the suggestions may seem obvious to you. These
suggestions are primarily designed for someone who has never taken on an assignment like
this. If you have your own procedures for organizing such an event, feel free to follow
the procedures with which you are most familiar.
There are a few items covered in the Guide that we believe are essential and should not
be ignored. These are marked with a 
indicating that they need to be done.
The National Bicycle and Pedestrian Clearinghouse at 1-800-760-NBPC can provide further
technical assistance, or you may call the FHWA at 202-366-8044.
