| Description: |
Overview Decreasing pedestrian injuries and fatalities requires strong partnerships between a variety of state and local agencies. Developed by the Safe States Alliance and funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Pedestrian Injury Prevention Action Team Program was designed to enhance statewide pedestrian safety efforts by helping practitioners strengthen partnerships and align efforts between those working in a variety of fields, including public health, transportation, planning, education, law enforcement, and advocacy. This self-study will present lessons and successes from the program and give examples from two states.
Learning Objectives As a result of participating in this self-study training, participants will: — Learn about lessons and successes from the program (documented in an impact evaluation report from the Safe States Alliance)
— Understand how Action Team members from two states have used multidisciplinary collaborations they’ve created through the program to successfully advance pedestrian safety initiatives across their respective states
— Learn how to engage partners across a variety of disciplines to achieve shared goals and ensure that pedestrian safety efforts are meaningful and impactful.
