Abstract

With the benefits of having children independently walk and bike, and the tremendously poor safety records currently, we need to improve the situation. A comprehensive approach to this problem must include education efforts for child pedestrians and bicyclists. However, we also require a better understanding of the problem itself and the role of the built environment in supporting or inhibiting safe active transportation for children. This work aims to be a piece in the puzzle of the Vision Zero effort to help increase the safety and proclivity of childhood walking and bicycling.
