Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian

Pedestrians account for an estimated 15 percent of all roadway fatalities, the majority of which are at uncontrolled crossing locations (such as non-intersections) or at intersections with no traffic signal or STOP sign. This innovation helps transportation agencies address such crashes by promoting cost-effective countermeasures with known safety benefits.

This breakout session on Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP) was recorded at the Federal Highway Administration’s Every Day Counts (EDC) Regional Summits in the fall of 2016. The Summits provided transportation professionals the opportunity to learn about the 11 innovations promoted through EDC-4, exchange ideas with their agency and industry counterparts in neighboring States, and provide feedback to FHWA on the support and resources needed to adopt the innovations in their own States
