Pedestrian/Bicyclist Safety FHWA’s Pedestrian and Bicycle Program has two components: research related to improving pedestrian and bicyclist safety and the promotion of walking and bicycling as legitimate means of personal transportation. Statistics show that every year 6,000 pedestrians are killed and 90,000 pedestrians are injured. Emphasis is on fostering public awareness of pedestrian and bicycle safety matters and providing safety tools for use at the national, State, and local levels. In the 1994 report to Congress The National Bicycling and Walking Study Final Report, Transportation Choices for a Changing America, FHWA established two national goals: double the percentage of all transportation trips made by bicycling and walking from 7.9 percent to 15.8 percent and reduce by 10 percent the number of injuries and fatalities sustained by bicyclists and pedestrians in transportation crashes.
