Now available from CDC’s Injury Center, National Strategies for Advancing Child Pedestrian Safety offers ideas for encouraging children to explore their environments by walking while reducing their risk of pedestrian injury. This publication, produced in partnership with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, discusses strategies to—

• raise public awareness about child pedestrian safety;
• change attitudes and behaviors of both pedestrians and drivers;
• create safer environments for walking;
• develop and conduct safe-walking programs;
• address gaps in current knowledge about pedestrian safety;
• collect data to measure how much children walk and identify factors put them at risk for injury while walking.

In addition, the full proceedings of the meeting that led to these strategies--Reducing Childhood Pedestrian Injuries: Proceedings of a Multidisciplinary Conference--are available below for download.
