ADOT Pedestrian Safety Action Plan: public input survey available

Sedona, AZ -  March 25, 2008 - The Arizona Department of Transportation is developing a Pedestrian Safety Action Plan to reduce the number of pedestrian related crashes, injuries, and fatalities on state highways.

One of the most important steps toward creating the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan is to document the perspectives, concerns, and input, as it relates to pedestrian safety, of residents from throughout the state of Arizona.

All residents of Arizona are invited to participate and complete a Public Input Survey for pedestrian safety. The results of the survey will serve as input to identifying important pedestrian safety issues and will help to establish goals and objectives for the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan.

The survey can be completed and returned using three different methods:

(1) The first option is to take the survey online. A link to the survey can be found on the Arizona Department of Transportation's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program website (http://www.azbikeped.org/). The results of the on-line survey are collected automatically so respondents do not have to email or print the completed survey.

(2) The second option is to answer and return the survey manually. The survey can be downloaded from Arizona Department of Transportation's Bicycle and Pedestrian Program website (http://www.azbikeped.org/). The surveys can be downloaded, completed manually, and returned via email or fax.

(3) A copy of the survey can be obtained by calling Michael Sanders, ADOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator at 602-712-8141.
