To implement engineering, law enforcement, and education countermeasures to pedestrian traffic crashes as part of comprehensive traffic safety programs of communities nationwide, a study was undertaken which: identified adequate existing pedestrian safety educational materials and programs; developed a comprehensive set of materials to fill identified gaps in existing adequate materials and developed a community level program guide for the use of proven engineering, law enforcement and public educational techniques at the community level; developed a cooperative effort of the National Safety Council, FHWA, NHTSA and over 100 service and community groups to conduct pedestrian safety programs at the community level; developed a State level network in 10 States to provide guidance and funding of community level pedestrian safety programs; pilot tested the program and its materials and implemented the program in the Commonwealth of Virginia; initiated, organized, and implemented ongoing Walk Alert programs in 10 States and a major city.
