摘要：	In April 2000, NYMTC established the Safety Advisory Working Group (SAWG) to provide a forum to facilitate interagency discussion, exchange information, address safety and advise its members on issues dealing with transportation safety. SAWG is also tasked with enhancing and expanding safety planning in all elements of NYMTC's metropolitan transportation planning process, including NYMTC's plans, programs, and activities. The first task of the SAWG was to identify the priority safety topics that the members would want to address. Pedestrian safety was by far the leading topic of concern among the agencies and therefore selected as the first topic to be studied. The first step for the study was to determine the status of pedestrian safety and the related investment needs in the region. This report identifies the pedestrian safety issues and recommended countermeasures to improve pedestrian safety in the region. The method was to interview the agencies and organizations within the region about their existing activities and perceptions of the issue. This project will develop the Pedestrian Safety Plan in collaboration with the NYMTC members and will be incorporated into the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Pedestrian Safety Plan will periodically be updated along with the update of the RTP. The second product of the study was to be a sourcebook on pedestrian safety strategies and technologies, based on the research findings reported by state and local agencies and the literature review of independent research organizations. / NOTE: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Prepared in cooperation with New York Metropolitan Transportation Council, NY.
