This will be a comprehensive community traffic
safety program that through education and enforcement will
address not only traffic safety in general, but in particular
address bicycle and pedestrian safety. The program goals will be
to: reduce bicycle and pedestrian injury and fatal collisions;
reduce nighttime injury and fatal collisions; increase bicycle
helmet use; increase enforcement of laws designed to protect the
safety of bicyclists and pedestrians; work with community based
organizations to educate and promote traffic safety awareness for
motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians; and increase bicycle and
pedestrian safety education in the schools. Specific project
objectives will include: special enforcement details focusing on
collision causing violations (based on statistical information),
provide bicycle and pedestrian safety education through classroom
presentations and school and community bicycle rodeos; develop,
produce and distribute promotional and educational materials to
support the program; distribute and properly fit bicycle safety
helmets; and identify and work with community based organizations
to achieve the program’s goals and objectives.
