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.
