Walking is one of the most fundamental skills thatman possesses. Babies learn to walk as young as7 months, before they can talk or even understandmost speech. Once walking is mastered, barringany later physical impairment, humans continueto walk throughout their lives without giving it asecond thought.

If walking is so simple, why does the pedestriansafety problem seem so complicated? Dedicatedindividuals who are eager to address the seriousproblem of pedestrian deaths and injuries find itvery frustrating to generate public support for theissue or even to figure out what needs to be done.

There are many reasons to explain this. A big partof the problem is the issue of pedestrian safetyitself. Walking is an unregulated, unorganizedactivity. People are, by nature, unpredictable.Pedestrians are much less restricted than otherroad users who must drive in a certain direction,at a certain speed, and obey a host of other trafficregulations. Controlling the interaction betweenthese uncontrollable (and very vulnerable)pedestrians and high-speed motorists in 2,000pound vehicles is a significant challenge.

Another problem with pedestrian safety is thatpedestrians as a group are unorganized. Walking isan almost unconscious activity, so people do notthink of themselves as pedestrians. When theyspeak out as motorists, consumers, or even assenior citizens, they know that there are otherswho share their views. But, no one seems to speakout for pedestrians. There are no constituencygroups demanding that programs be implemented.On the contrary, many groups are very vocal intheir opposition to efforts requiring sidewalks or reducing travel speeds.

These first two problems would be manageable iflocal activists had access to the right resources tohelp solve them. These resources do exist. Theproblem lies in trying to acquire them. Most localcoordinators face either feast or famine when itcomes to pedestrian safety resources. Either theyare working in isolation, unaware that theseresources exist, or they locate a source ofinformation only to be overwhelmed by theconfusing volume of research reports, programmaterials, and guidelines. Those working inisolation may waste a lot of time and resourcesreinventing what has already been developedsomewhere else. The person who is overwhelmedwith resources can waste an equal amount of timesorting through materials that are inappropriatefor their particular situation.

This Pedestrian Safety Toolkit Resource Catalogis designed to make it easier for communitypedestrian safety activists to locate and acquirethe most appropriate resources for their particularneeds. It provides both a brief overview of the stepsthat should be followed to establish an effectivepedestrian safety program, as well as a list of theresources that will be needed along the way.

I n t r o d u c t i o n

The Pedestrian Safety Toolkit Resource Catalogis not a typical resource catalog because it suggestswhen a resource can be used as well as where to find it.

The catalog consists of two major sections. Thefirst section is a list of six steps to follow. The sixsteps describe how to organize and implement acommunity pedestrian program. At each step, thecatalog also identifies the principal activities thatshould be conducted before moving on. A differenticon is used to represent each of the six steps.

If you are looking for resources to support yourcommunity pedestrian safety program, you shouldreview the six stages on page 5, and the activitiesshown for each step. Where are you in this process?If you are a lone voice who wants to get somethingstarted in your community, you are probably atStep 1, Making a Commitment. If your communityalready has an active Pedestrian Safety Task Forceor Advisory Group that has analyzed the safety data,you may be ready for Step 3, Developing a Plan.

Once you have determined at which stage yourprogram is, you can then turn to the ResourceListings of the catalog. Look for the icon thatrepresents your stage and review the resourcelistings under that icon.

The resources listed fall into seven categories:• Program Guidance• Funding• Videos• Technical Guidelines• Training• Research Report• School Materials• Public Information

Each resource listing contains the name of theresource, the author (if appropriate) a descriptionof the resource, information on the target audience,and how to obtain the resource. Since someresources are useful at more than one stage, they may be listed more than once.

The listings in the catalog are largely limited to resources from the U.S. Department ofTransportation (DOT). The only exceptions tothis rule are those materials that were developedby the Department in partnership with a privatesector organization such as the National SafetyCouncil. Many DOT resource materials areavailable from the Federal Highway Administration(FHWA) R & T Report Center. Each fundingresource has its own unique application processand information is provided on these processes.

Some users of the catalog may not be interestedin assessing where they are in the programdevelopment process. They are only interested in finding a particular research report or locatinga new PSA. To assist these users, the catalog hasa Resource Index which can be used to find aresource by category or by subject matter. If youare looking for a particular resource, such as avideo or research report, search the index underthe appropriate resource category.

A companion document to this catalog has beendeveloped. It is the Pedestrian Safety Toolkit UserManual. The User Manual is organized around thesame six-step process as this catalog, but it offerspractical information on how to achieve each step.It is available from the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration, Office of Communicationsand Outreach, fax (202) 493-2062.

In each state, funds areadministered by the Governor’s Representative forHighway Safety. Pedestrian safety has been identifiedas a National Priority Area and is therefore eligible forSection 402 funds. 402 funds can be used for a varietyof safety initiatives including conducting data analyses,developing safety education programs, and conductingcommunity-wide pedestrian safety campaigns. Sincethe 402 Program is jointly administered by the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration and the FederalHighway Administration, Highway Safety Funds canalso be used for some limited safety-relatedengineering projects.
