Nevada Bicycle
and Pedestrian Safety Education Program |
|
Mission |
|
is to prevent injuries to children and adults from
bicycle and pedestrian crashes by training them with the knowledge
and skills needed to be competent and safe in traffic. |
|
|
|
Primary Goal |
|
is to administer a traffic and bicycle safety
education program through workshops and continuing education
programs for Nevada’s school teachers, community volunteers, law
enforcement officers and recreation leaders. Pilot projects,
research, media or awareness campaigns and the production of
documents and guidelines are also carried out as part of the
program's goal. By creating partnerships with local community and
non-profit organizations, OTS provides ongoing education and funding
opportunities, as well as special events targeting safety with the
intent of: |
- Increasing proper bicycle helmet use.
- Increasing obedience to traffic laws by
pedestrians, bicyclists or motorists.
- Increasing walking or bicycle use as a
substitute commute to school or work.
- Increasing physical activity and reducing
negative environmental effects thereby promoting a healthier
community.
- Increase and package educational
opportunities in such a way as to encourage widespread
application.
