Good Practices Guide for Bicycle Safety Education

摘要

In 1998, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) convened a steering group of bicycle safety experts and developed the National Bicycle Safety Education Curriculum. This Curriculum lists several bicycle safety education topics and target audiences - cyclists of different ages and abilities, as well as motorists. A Resource Catalog was developed which identifies and describes bicycle safety education programs that address these curriculum topics and target audiences. The FHWA has determined that good practices can be drawn from some of the educational resources identified in the resource catalog/database. The FHWA conducted in-depth interviews with bicycle safety educators, developed case studies, and summarized the results as good practices. The Good Practices Guide will be useful to those who plan to develop bicycle safety education programs, as well as those who are looking for the ideal existing bicycle safety program to use in their community.
