Provide an approved version of the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Action Plan (as an appendix to the application);  c. Provide data defining the State&#8217;s or States&#8217; pedestrian and bicycle high-risk group(s), high-crash locations/intersections and most common pedestrian crash types;  d. Considering the extent of the problem and the current needs of the State&#8217;s pedestrian and bicycle safety programs, show how the requested funding will enable the applicant to make significant progress toward improving or enhancing their pedestrian safety efforts in the focus State;  e.

NHTSA plans to award three (3) cooperative agreements, via limited competition, to continue the focused city comprehensive approach to pedestrian safety.  This Request for Application broadens the scope to include bicycle safety as well as pedestrian safety and will support the implementation of the education and enforcement elements of the localities&#8217; pedestrian/bicycle safety plans.  This broadened approach reflects the direction taken by FHWA. Only those localities currently designated as Pedestrian/Bicycle Focus States with an approved city pedestrian and bicycle safety action plan that have not previously received NHTSA focus State funded awards will be eligible to apply .      This funding supplements active infrastructure improvement projects already proposed or in progress as outlined in their existing State action plan.
Description: Announcement of a Request for Applications (RFA) to provide assistance to eligible designated pedestrian/bicycle focus States to support focus cities implement education and enforcement components of their local Pedestrian/Bicycle Safety Action Plans.
