Evaluation of the Focused Approach to Pedestrian Safety Program

This report summarizes the results of an evaluation of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Focused Approach to Pedestrian Safety Program. The study was done by the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center at the request of the FHWA Office of Safety (HSA). Five of the 19 “focus” locations were chosen for this evaluation based on geographic diversity, number and types of Program activities, and the availability of data about Program implementation. The study consisted of semistructured telephone interviews with 29 pedestrian safety stakeholders (mostly from government agencies) across the five locations.
