“Addressing the issue of
bicycle and pedestrian safety
requires a comprehensive
approach. We have to
change the way we design
and engineer our roads, we
have to improve our
education efforts, and clarify
our traffic laws.”

Traffic Safety Programs must be both ACCOUNTABLE and EFFECTIVE.
The overall goal of the traffic safety program is to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities and serious injuries
resulting from traffic crashes.
What Counts?
Outcomes count. While most behavioral programs measure effectiveness by output, this program looks at the
outcomes that result from those output. This is called an Impact Evaluation.
When making recommendations keep in mind the degree of influence the recommendation has on resolving the
issue.
What Can’t Be Counted?
Activities and costs vital to the success of the program, such as outreach to increase awareness of traffic laws, is
difficult, if not impossible to count. We know these things are necessary, and complete administrative evaluations that
provides a complete description of activities and costs of these types of items.
These types of items should be included in your recommendations, but note they should be vital to the success of the
program.
