19 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety ADTSEA examined what is provided in driver education on pedestrian and bicycle safety. 30 out of 31 States examined provide information on pedestrians and bicyclists Mostly through lesson plans, handouts and videos. Curricula and driver s manuals common as well. Please mute your phone *1. Slide 19
20 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Most obtained through websites, DOT or DMV offices, and curricula Some states have their own bicycle coalitions or foundations (VT, ME, OR) Most states review their programs yearly and most updated within the last two years ( ) Slide 20
21 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety AAMVA Feedback from the States Kevin Lewis, Director, Driver Programs, AAMVA Slide 21
22 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety AAMVA examined what is provided by licensing agencies on pedestrian and bicycle safety. All 33 jurisdictions examined provide information on pedestrian and bicycle safety in their driver manual About half of the jurisdictions (16) examined provide additional information, mostly through pamphlets and websites. Please mute your phone *1. Slide 22
23 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety 6 jurisdictions responded that it is required, by law, to include knowledge test questions on pedestrian and bicycle safety. The number of test questions related to pedestrian and bicycle safety in a jurisdiction s bank of questions varies greatly from 1 question (SC) to 54 questions (Quebec) in the bank. 6 is the most common number of questions in the test bank. Slide 23
24 Information Provided to Young Drivers on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Most jurisdictions have randomized questioning therefore there may not be a question on each test. Majority of jurisdictions have 3 questions on each knowledge test related to pedestrian and bicycle safety. Jurisdictions vary on when information was reviewed last, anywhere from 2007 to The majority have revised their materials in Slide 24

43 GHSA Highway Safety Policies and Priorities and Safe Routes to School Troy E. Costales, GHSA Slide 43
44 GHSA Highway Safety Policies & Priorities N.1 Driver Education/Training Supports the model driver education/ training curriculum that would complement and be integrated with graduated licensing laws. The curriculum should continue, at a minimum, to focus on vehicle handling and crash avoidance, driver behavior and risk reduction, roadway features and their safety implications, and vehicle-road user interactions for all types of vehicles and road users (e.g., car-truck, pedestrian-car, etc.). Slide 44
45 GHSA Highway Safety Policies & Priorities G.2 Bicycle Safety Supports implementation of bicycle safety education programs and enforcement of mandatory bicycle helmet laws. The problem of bicycle safety should be researched, continually monitored and evaluated. Special bicycle safety programs aimed at young children and teenagers should also be implemented at the state and community levels. Slide 45
46 GHSA Highway Safety Policies & Priorities G.3 Pedestrian Safety Supports efforts to raise public awareness about pedestrian safety and encourages implementation of community-based pedestrian safety countermeasures. Urges jurisdictions to implement special pedestrian safety emphasis programs for young children and older adults. Supports further research on pedestrian issues and progress toward reducing pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Supports enforcement of traffic laws to protect pedestrians, in particular those laws protecting pedestrians crossing roadways at crosswalks. Slide 46
47 GHSA Safe Routes to School: Noteworthy Practices Guide In 2005, congress established the national Safe Routes to School (SRtS) program. Empowers states and local communities to make walking and bicycling to school safe and available. Provides examples of practices by state programs. Please mute your phone *1. Slide 47
48 GHSA Safe Routes to School: Noteworthy Practices Guide Contains both infrastructure and non-infrastructure components. Non-infrastructure includes education, encouragement, enforcement and evaluation activities. Targeted to state and federal SRTS practioners, policy and decision makers within DOTs, local SRTS practioners, other transportation enhancement program administrators. Slide 48
49 Infrastructure Used to Address Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety and Maneuvering these Roadway Designs Tamara Redmon Pedestrian Safety Program Manager, FHWA Slide 49
50 The FHWA s Role in Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Pedestrian safety improvements depend on an integrated approach that involves the 4 E s: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services. The FHWA s Office of Safety addresses the Engineering/Infrastructure piece and develops projects, programs and materials for use in reducing pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities. Slide 50

76 How to Verify Content on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety is Being Covered Allen Robinson, ADTSEA Ruth Esteban-Muir, NHTSA Slide 76
77 How to Verify Content on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety is Being Covered Utilize the ADTSEA s (Developed by the Adam Little Foundation) Share the Road with Bicyclists list of objectives as a checklist to determine: what your state is currently covering what needs to be added Utilize quality curriculums, textbooks and the AAMVA Model Driver Manual / Knowledge Test Item Pool. Slide 77
78 How to Verify Content on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety is Being Covered Incorporating or expanding road skills exams to emphasize specific driving maneuvers associated with responding to pedestrians and bicyclists. This includes: Yielding and stopping for pedestrians at intersections, turns and designated zones Scanning for possible mid-block crossings Properly sharing the road with pedestrians and bicyclists Slide 78
79 Open Discussion How are you covering pedestrian and bicycle safety during instruction time or BTW time? Have you incorporated pedestrian and bicycle safety into your road test and knowledge test? If not, why? Do you think pedestrian and bicycle safety is a problem that needs to be addressed to young drivers? What kind of priority do you think it is? Slide 79
80 Open Discussion What is your state using or doing to make young drivers aware of pedestrian and bicycle safety? What are some examples of how pedestrian and bicycle safety can be brought into the local and state system? What do you feel should be incorporated into driver education curriculums on pedestrian and bicycle safety? How can we make sure new drivers learn how to share the road with bicyclists and pedestrians? Slide 80
81 Next Steps? Will provide links to resources, webinar slides and a recording of the webinar. Additional resources on States can schedule a NHTSA pedestrian/ bicycle peer review. Review your state s resources on pedestrian and bicycle safety. Slide 81
