Promising Practices for Transportation Agencies to Address Road Safety among People Experiencing Homelessness: Case Studies in Current Practice
Source: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
Highlights how State and local transportation agencies and professionals are implementing strategies to address the road safety needs of people experiencing homelessness—a population that experiences significant disparities in roadway fatalities—as part of their work to reach the goal of zero deaths. The Case Study shares information on seven promising practices. Each promising practice includes a description, suggested actions to implement the promising practice, and examples of how State and local transportation agencies are implementing them. The promising practices were developed from interviews with three agencies (Texas Department of Transportation’s Austin District, Hawaii Department of Transportation, and the City of San José, California), a literature review of 20 publications, and input from a panel of experts representing Federal, State, and local agencies; academics; and non-profit organizations.
