The Pedestrian Safety Workshop is a 3 - day workshop where the two very popular courses “Developing an Effective Pedestrian Safety Action Plan” and “Designing for Pedestrian Safety” have been combined.  This is an opportunity to work with two well known pedestrian safety experts in a workshop in which participants will gain the knowledge to go back to their agencies and develop an effective pedestrian safety action plan; elements which include stakeholders, data collecting, data analyzing, funding, engineering countermeasures, education countermeasures, and enforcement countermeasures.  By the end of the workshop, participants will have a prioritized list of things their agency will need to change to commit to pedestrian safety and to reduce pedestrian crashes, which in turn will make our community a safer and more pleasant place to walk. There will be a couple walking site visits to help participants understand and identify obstacles to walking and will provide participants an opportunity to apply what they’ve learned from the workshop.  Finally, participants recommend agency-wide policy changes that are needed to improve pedestrian safety.
