This report presents an analysis of two programs administered by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, Office of Highway Safety. The programs are four Community Traffic Safety Programs (CTSPs) and the Connecticut Rider Education Program (CONREP). The analyses are based on (1) a telephone survey of a randomly selected sample of 1000 persons from the general, noninstitutionalized population, 18 years of age and older,(2) an analysis of motorcycle accident records for 1994, and (3) a telephone survey of a randomly selected sample of 100 CONREP graduates. The results show that a very small percentage of the population is aware of the existence of CTSPs, but those who have had dealings with one are overwhelmingly positive in their evaluations. While the educational materials were judged to be worthwhile, formal training in bicycle operation was not seen to be very effective. On the basis of accident records, CONREP graduates appear to be much safer operators than non-graduates. CONREP is perceived as quite valuable and they were nearly unanimous in their praise.
