Impact of the Federal Safe Routes to School program on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety: An Analysis of Washington DC and Florida
| 项目名称： | Impact of the Federal Safe Routes to School program on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety: An Analysis of Washington DC and Florida |
| 摘要： | The U.S. Congress identified increasing rates of walking to school and making walking to school safer as critical national objectives in the most recent federal transportation bill. To achieve these goals, Congress has authorized over $860 million for the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program since 2005. Unfortunately, there has been limited study of the safety impacts of the SRTS program. This study addresses this knowledge gap by using a quasi-experimental design to quantify the impact of the SRTS program on children's non-motorized pedestrian and bicycle crashes in Washington DC and Florida. The results of the study will be useful to state Departments of Transportation as they make decisions about resource allocation and local practitioners working to make walking and biking safer. |
